Support for Campus Appeal promotes pride By Hannah Larking News Editor August 6, 2008 The University of Windsor’s Campus Appeal hopes to increase its number of supporters this year with its payroll deduction campaign.
 Each year Campus Appeal is supported by over 300 faculty and staff members who charitably donated to an area of their choice at the university. This year their payroll deduction campaign provides the option of donating a percentage of your pay cheque back to the university.
Nadia Hachem, development officer at Campus Appeal, said the idea is catching on. “It’s picking up,” Hachem explained, “It’s more of getting people aware of the program now—that’s what we’re working on … This summer we’re trying to raise awareness, and we’re hoping the actual Campus Appeal campaign, which is payroll deduction, will help.” >> | Faculty Association negotiates new collective agreement By Hannah Larking
News Editor August 6, 2008 The University of Windsor’s Faculty Association is currently in negotiations with university administration over a new collective agreement.
 According to Dr. Brian Brown, Faculty Association president, the last four-year agreement expired on June 30, 2008. “We are currently negotiating a new collective agreement, or terms and conditions for faculty and librarians, contract academic staff and sessionals,” Brown explained.
The Faculty Association, also known as WUFA, defines itself as a democratic, membership-based organization of professors, librarians and other academics working with others and for themselves to promote their rights and improve the quality of academic life at the University of Windsor. >>  | | Campus Kiss | | University pub still "nothing" By Hannah Larking News Editor August 6, 2008 The University pub has been bolted up since mid-April and according to UWSA president Tiffany Gooch, still no decisions have yet been made.
“As of right now, everything remains the same,” Gooch said,  “There haven’t been any decisions, but we have been looking at a few different proposals, and the university has leant out a helping hand because they would like to see the pub opened and they want to help us in any way possible to get it open.”
It’s hard to believe that there is currently no action behind the closed doors that take up a large portion of the CAW Centre’s basement, but Gooch assures that it’s just that: “Right now it’s nothing. And the UWSA has no intentions of finding a quick fix. “I’ve always said that I wanted to make sure that any decision we made and any decision to open the pub had to be based on sustainable solutions and that we weren’t going to rush into opening it back up because there’s some quick fix,” Gooch explained. >> |
