Lorsque le Canada a prolongé la durée de protection des droits d’auteur à 70 ans après la mort d’un créateur, le domaine public a été gelé. La Loi sur le droit d’auteur ne devrait pas constituer un obstacle entre les Canadiens et leur patrimoine culturel.

When Canada extended copyright protections to 70 years after the death of a creator, the public domain was frozen. No new works will be entering the Canadian public domain until 2043. The Copyright Act shouldn’t be a barrier between Canadians and their cultural heritage.

Nous sommes reconnaissants pour tout ce que les membres de la communauté syndicale et de l'éducation postsecondaire ont fait en solidarité les uns avec les autres cette année. L’ACPPU souhaite à tous une pause en santé et un repos bien mérité!

This morning on 640AM, OCUFA President Rob Kristofferson explained the converging issues behind Ontario’s university funding crisis. We can’t rely on international tuition to prop up the system, the province must invest in postsecondary education to support students. Listen here: bit.ly/3XXUNfz

The Government's attack on teachers puts all of us in jeopardy. Thanks to all who stood up today for fundamental rights and for quality education in Alberta. When teachers fight, students win. #solidarity #ableg #universityofalberta

Today, OCUFA is meeting with Ontario MPPs to discuss the serious threats facing our education sector. Ontario provides its universities with the lowest amount of total provincial funding per-domestic full-time equivalent (FTE) student in Canada, and it’s not close.

OCUFA is committed to enhancing the quality of higher public education in Ontario and recognizing the outstanding contributions of our members towards creating a world-class university system. An important part of that work is effective advocacy.

Alors que les universités et les collèges réduisent leurs programmes universitaires, ferment des programmes et suppriment plus de 13 000 emplois, le budget 2025 réduit de moitié les inscriptions d'étudiants internationaux sans augmenter le financement de base.
