Details regarding Dalhousie and faculty association agreement expected today

A tentative settlement was reached on September 17, 2025, between Halifax’s major university and its faculty union, bringing an end to a labour dispute that had lasted nearly a month.
The dispute began with the university locking out DFA members on Aug. 20 after failing to agree on wages, flexible scheduling, and parental leave benefits.
The DFA, representing nearly 1,000 faculty members, had proposed wage increases of 3.75%, 4.75%, and 5.75% over three years to address inflation losses, while the university offered 2% annually.
A joint statement announced that the labour disruption will conclude, with classes anticipated to restart once the agreement is ratified; the university will provide the specific date later Tuesday.
The tentative agreement requires approval from both the Dalhousie Faculty Association and the university’s governing body before the contract dispute can be resolved, enabling the resumption of classes and the announcement of scheduling information.
