DR. BARRE'S STATEMENT ON ONLINE TEACHING

Though I (Dr. Barre) believe it is important to be flexible in this Covid-19 pandemic crisis situation, it is also important that the integrity of the current collective agreement between the Cape Breton University Faculty Association and Board of Governors, Cape Breton University is upheld. Though my strong preference is to teach in-person classes, I am  more than willing to do my part to teach my courses online for the Fall term, 2021. Put more formally, as stipulated in Article 27.2.4.2 of our Collective Agreement, I consent to online course delivery this Fall term if the Covid-19 pandemic does not allow for in person teaching. My doing so at this time is not to be taken as an relinquishment of my rights as stipulated in my Collective Agreement.
