Faculty association president Dr. Adango Miadonye said their ask is down from 17 per cent over two years and it reflects inflation as well as equity parity with other universities.

McDougall, who is in his first full-time semester, is concerned about having difficulty learning the university coursework for his bachelor of arts without classes or access to professors. "The cry from the faculty association from the very beginning has been 'where's the money, show us the money, what's in it for us.'"
