Sure. I would like to point out that wiki particularly asks that people who have a conflict of interest do not participate in the wording of controversial issues. What happened to this bio was that it appears that several individuals or perhaps one individual with more than one identity used the bio to promote their views. This action is specifically forbidden by wiki and it is a mis-use of wiki. (see conflict of interest guidelines). I think someone just got carried away by their dedication to their cause and did not intend to cause harm or to mis-use wiki. But ad hominen attacks often take away from substantive issues and detract from the cause being promoted. No one who had any role in the labour dispute at UNB, no student, no employee, should be contributing to this article on Wiki. Please check out the rules carefully and get back to me. Best to you in all that you do - may you be successful and also fair in your endeavours. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Humanperson111 (talk • contribs) 16:50, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

There was no original entry which ever claimed that Campbell settled the strike. What happened was that scribbling woman added information which was clearly one-sided on the wiki site. Prior to that entry, there was nothing about the labour dispute at all. The entry about settling the strike was an attempt to correct a personal attack which is contrary to wiki principles.

Would you be content with:

Campbell took part in negotiations to end the first strike in UNB's ...... and the labour dispute has gone to arbitration?

To be perfectly honest, as a fellow academic, I'd love to see UNB people get more money, I'd love to see more resources in the humanities, and I abhor the current marketing of universities across North America, but I think the personal attack approach is counter-productive. Let me know what you think and good luck. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Humanperson111 (talk • contribs) 17:59, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Congratulations on the arbitration award! Best wishes to you and all your colleagues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Humanperson111 (talk • contribs) 12:38, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Agreed. There's a troubling international trend in universities that goes beyond our borders and salaries are only a small part of the picture. Perhaps what we need is research to examine academic funding and marketing in a critical light. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Humanperson111 (talk • contribs) 14:33, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
