Brandon University Strike 2011 and BUSU and BUFA

As you all know there is a strike ongoing at Brandon University. How long it will last, no one knows. But there has been a lot of confusion on everyone side about what is going on and who’s saying what.

First off, check the BUFA website everyday for updates. Note that it is heavily biased towards the teachers for obvious reasons. Next, check the BUSU website each day for details. These are also biased towards a teacher point of view and BUSU has officially stated that they support BUFA and their actions. If you have a webmail account, check it every day. This is the only way that the Administration has been able to get a hold of students. Of course all emails are heavily biased against BUFA.

There is also a facebook group called Brandon University Students’ Union (BUSU) which is updated each day with the opinions of BUSU’s leadership as well as many of the students. Responses there are quickly attended too, and if you must ask a question this would be the best place to do it. The president and the rest of the members of BUSU regularly post new information each day and respond to everyone’s questions. The group also posts out events and times for forums for each student body. There has been a education student forum as well as a general forum this week.

Thirdly, check the BUSU youtube channel which shows videos of the forums and all the questions asked.

Fourthly, if you have any other questions or just want to voice your opinion somewhere, don’t hesitate to comment on this page. We’d love to hear from you and would pass on suggestions or concerns to the proper representative bodies. So please click on Comment below and let yourself be heard!
