NO!!! NO !!!!! NO!!!!!!
This is not a hoax, although your second guess may be more accurate.
Certainly the University of Manitoba administration has done similar
underhanded things .... for example giving themselves a 10% pay increase
last year while "clawing" back on faculty pay and benefits, and reducing
student service.
Please support the faculty strike in any way you can.
