Brock University and the Brock University Faculty Association (BUFA) reached a tentative agreement on a new contract early on Wednesday Aug. 13, 2014.

The tentative agreement was reached with the assistance of a mediator, and upon ratification would succeed the current collective agreement that expired June 30, 2014.

Details regarding the new agreement will not be released until both parties have ratified it with their principals.

BUFA represents 573 faculty and professional librarian members at the University.
