As you know, the University found a way of extending the Occupational Adjustment to faculty members and librarians without doctoral degrees. Your public comment this morning seemed to suggest you could not see why the University does not have flexibility to implement the Occupational Adjustments prior to April 1, 2001. The University cannot obtain additional funds for Occupational Adjustments for these years and it cannot run a deficit. This package would consist of all agreed items and the University s proposals on the remaining items. If you have any questions, I would be pleased to comment on them privately or publicly.
Time is of the essence.
Yours sincerely, Axel Meisen, Ph.D., P.Eng.
