RATIFICATION VOTE RESULTS
The DFA ratification vote closed at 4:00 pm on Thursday, August 21. An overwhelming 82.7% of those who cast a vote opted to reject the August 11, 2025 offer from the Dalhousie University Board of Governors.
“This sends a clear message that the DFA Members are willing to stay the course,” says DFA President Dave Westwood. “Spirits among our picketers is sky high, and support from other faculty associations and unions is strong. It’s time for the Board to come back to the table with something that our members can seriously consider.”
A record 93.4% (930 out of 981) of the DFA Membership participated in the vote which opened Thursday, August 14.
