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.

As universities and colleges cut academic programs, close programs, and slash 13,000+ jobs, Budget 2025 halves international student enrolment without boosting core funding.

Thank you to the many Unions and organizations who have donated to support our striking MSVU and SMU Part-Time Faculty. Go here to see the full list: cupe3912.ca/2025/10/29/t...

CAUT flying pickets out on the picket lines this morning in support of @cupe3912.bsky.social as they fight for a fair deal!

Contract Academic Staff - they publish, mentor, innovate - all on precarious contracts. More than 80% of CAS surveyed consider their work vital to their university’s mission. Let’s treat it that way. #FairEmploymentWeek#[email protected] @dalfaculty.bsky.social@cupe3912.bsky.social

During CAUT Fair Employment Week, @cupe3912.bsky.social colleagues at MSVU are on strike, and those at SMU are in conciliation, all fighting for a fair deal. It's time for universities to step up and properly recognize the value of those on precarious employment. #MakeItFair

Contract academic staff have many names, but what they all have in common is a lack of job security and access to resources. Join the call for the fair treatment of contract academic staff. #MakeItFair

Les membres du personnel académique contractuel portent plusieurs noms, mais ce qu'il a en commun, c'est le manque de sécurité de l'emploi et d'accès aux ressources. Rejoignez l'appel en faveur d'un traitement équitable du personnel académique contractuel. #JusticePourTous

It’s #FairEmploymentWeek & @cupe3912.bsky.social are on strike seeking: fair employment. CAS research, build community & teach. Yet over half juggle multiple contracts to make ends meet. Imagine the potential if their work was valued with fair pay & stability. #MakeItFair#ANSUTstandswithCAS

Good morning! We'll be out again at 100 McCaul to mark #FairEmploymentWeek. Come say hi! We'll have snacks! ocadfa.ca/blog/2025/10...

Too many contract faculty have to reapply for their jobs every term and don’t know if they will be teaching semester-to-semester or year-to-year. #Fairness4CF #MakeItFair @caut.bsky.social
