LETTER OF AGREEMENT #21: LABOUR MANAGEMENT SUB-COMMITTEE ON TRIMESTER MODEL

The Parties recognize that some Faculties at VIU work outside of the traditional two-semester model. As such, the parties agree to form a Labour Management sub-committee to explore the possibility of creating a three-semester model for VIU. The sub-committee will be composed of five VIUFA delegates and five Administrative delegates. 

The mandate of the Committee is to: 

  1. Create a written report on the findings and recommendations of the sub-committee
  2. Identify impacted Collective Agreement language
  3. Examine a range of representative models
  4. Catalogue the challenges and benefits of specific models that may be suitable for VIU

The committee will create a terms of reference that will govern the scope of their work and provide quarterly updates and submit the final report to Labour Management by January 31, 2022.
