Four months before Patrick Deane takes over as McMaster president, the university has made his contract public.

McMaster posted Deane's five-year contract on its Daily News website yesterday, demonstrating a change of course after opposing the release of current president Peter George's contract in 2006.

CUPE protests at Mac convocation

The Canadian Union of Public Employees is picketing McMaster’s social sciences convocation ceremonies at the Hamilton Convention Centre today.

CUPE Local 3906 says the demonstration is to inform the public of “layoffs” which are the consequences of restructuring at the university.

The complaints stem from the concerns of sessional faculty members – faculty serving in a temporary capacity to instruct specific courses on a course-by-course basis – represented by CUPE Local 3906.
