The faculty association and university administration have been negotiating a new collective agreement after its previous deal expired earlier this year. In October, they turned to a conciliator to resolve issues such as pension reform and salaries. David Westwood, president of the faculty association, said they received recommendations from the conciliator on Dec. 16, and the association was willing to accept all of them.
