Six days.

Six days with no news for students or locked out faculty, counsellors, and librarians.

Six days with no news for other staff, community partners, or research collaborators at other univs.

Six days of the senior admin doing nothing.

15 days since the admin was at the bargaining table.
The Dal "Labour Relations" page indicating that the "latest news" and "latest updates" were all August 20 when they locked out DFA members.

This would mean that term would now start Sept 4th. If the DFA is still locked out tomorrow, then Sept 5th. If the DFA is still locked out on Monday... Why is the admin telling students to show up for the 2nd? DFA members have to prep. #KeepDalStrong #ProtectTheFallTerm globalnews.ca/news/1134110...
“Locking out our members when they’re preparing for the start of the term guarantees that every minute, every day that’s lost to preparation will need to be added on to the start of the term, because you can’t manufacture time,” faculty association president David Westwood said.

Maybe they should use Google's AI?
"AI Overview" (with apologies to the planet for using AI): "To achieve a better employment outcome during a collective bargaining period, a Canadian university president should strategically focus on preparing thoroughly, understanding both sides' perspectives, maintaining clear communication, building strong bargaining teams, and being willing to compromise while also demonstrating a clear mandate and objective criteria. The goal is to reach an agreement that is both beneficial to the university and acceptable to the faculty, ensuring their leadership position is not undermined by the outcome of negotiations."

A meme, with the following dialogue: Admin: students should come to campus as normal Observer: be honest Admin: students will be notified about which classes are suspended Observer: be honest Admin: We've locked out the DFA and if CUPE 3912 goes on strike there will be no classes. Observer: Thank you.
