About This Blog

Dare to Dissemble is my little online ranting place, where I air my thoughts about the ridiculous state of affairs at the University of Alberta--a formerly strong public institution with tons of potential being driven into the ground by inept governance and irresponsible government funding policies. Comments are welcome, but not expected. Like most blogs on the internet, this one languishes in obscurity and is read for the most part by its proprietor.

Airing of the Grievances

I'm still not sure what to make of this grievance filed by the BoG against AASUA.  According to the Post-Secondary Learning Act, "Each academic staff association shall have the exclusive authority, on behalf of the academic staff members, to negotiate and enter into an agreement with the board of the public post-secondary institution."  Apparently, the BoG believe that by talking to CAUT, AASUA has violated that exclusivity requirement.  AASUA does not agree, and really I can't see this grievance being taken seriously by anyone who can read.  More likely, it's a shot across the bow in order to cow a historically passive organization, which may be showing signs of coming to life.
