Internal Matters - Personnel , Cont'd

I have received a stage three grievance from the Douglas and Kwantlen
Faculty Association, regarding position on salary scale of a temporary
instructor.

The College has received the report of the arbitrator in the case
of a grievance involving contract personnel hiring processes. The
arbitrator has found for the Douglas College Faculty Association.
As soon as we have completed a review of the finding, we will be
consulting with the Douglas and Kwantlen Faculty Association regarding
appropriate action and processes for the future.

Negotiations between Douglas College and the Douglas and Kwantlen
Faculty Association on a new agreement have ceased. It is my
understanding that discussion will likely re-commence in two to three
months time.

Installation of word processing equipment, using our new main-frame
computer, is in process. A number of terminals have been installed,
and some of our staff have completed the first part of their training
on the new equipment. I look forward to considerably improved services
once the complete cycle of installation and training has been
completed, in about a year's time.
