As a student at BU, as much as I would like to see classes resume, I just wanted to give you my support.

I, as a student, pay for and expect upmost quality in my profs, and know by underpaying the good ones we will lose them and have to settle for profs of less calibre. If you agree to arbitration and do not settle yet again the differences at hand, a strike in the future is foreseeable. I know if an agreement is not come to, but forced, I will not return to BU to finish my degree in fear of another strike. My opinion is that we are already on a strike... York university bounced back from a 12 week strike. We will bounce back no matter how long this takes to settle. Take your time, get what you deserve and we will all support you. Even if its frustrating. 

I just t wanted to let you know how we felt, that is all... Good luck with negations!
