A huge thank you to everyone who came out the BUFA BBQ. It was fantastic reminder of what makes BUFA strong — our members! From meaningful conversations to shared solidarity, it was an incredible event! Your support and participation continue to strengthen the bonds that unite us. #CDNPSE

#Ontario’s universities are the lowest funded in Canada, increasingly relying on contract faculty. @ocufa.bsky.social President Rob Kristofferson’s op-ed digs further into the precarious employment of our contract faculty. #Fairness4CF tinyurl.com/cfsmdoa

Demand for an Ontario university education has never been higher. But per-student funding for Ontario’s universities is the lowest in the country. Ontario universities need stable long-term funding now. Read our briefing note: tinyurl.com/4p7chy55

Precariously employed contract faculty teach almost 50% of university courses in Ontario with little job security or institutional support. OCUFA is holding a Social Media Day of Action to call for fair, stable working conditions for contract faculty. tinyurl.com/ybanf5yp

Please join the Brock community for Stronger Together: Solidarity for Brock’s Future, a collaborative event on FEB 24, 11:30am – 2:00pm. Keynote speaker, Jenny Ahn, @ocufa.bsky.social, will join a panel to discuss the local and broader implications for chronic underfunding of education in Ontario.

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

#Election2025 is under way and it’s time to speak out for PSE. Drastic cuts and threats to academia and research have shown that PSE is facing a crisis. Our institutions are the key to Canada’s future. Join us: education2025.ca

Politicians don’t get to dictate what is taught and researched at Canadian colleges and universities. Research and institutional funding shouldn’t come with political strings attached. Join us: education2025.ca

It’s election day in Ontario and universities and colleges need your help. Ontario colleges and universities are facing drastic program cuts, layoffs and campus closures. Don’t forget to vote today – tell the Ontario government they need to act NOW to save PSE.

Today is OCUFA's annual contract faculty social media day of action. This #ONElxn, we are asking political parties to stop the gigification of teaching and provide permanent, stable jobs for contract faculty. Join the movement for #Fairness4CF @ocufa.bsky.social t.co/AQ4MDkJC4c

🗳️The Ontario election is February 27th. ➡️Send a message to the party leaders asking them to commit to supporting Ontario universities to help them drive innovation and economic growth. #ONpoli #ONPSE #Fairness4CF @ocufa.bsky.social buff.ly/4k2uXRA

On February 27th, vote to end the gigification of teaching. Universities need a funding model that supports long-term, stable, and permanent positions for contract faculty. Email the party leaders now and ask them to commit to #Fairness4CF. #ONpoli#ONPSE buff.ly/4k2uXRA

2025 Ontario Provincial Election: OCUFA has developed an advocacy platform to guide the work ahead and mobilize our key election priorities. The election will be held February 27, 2025. Here are OCUFA’s solutions for stronger universities, and a stronger Ontario: ocufa.on.ca/campaigns/on...

On Canadian university and college campuses, students should be free to learn and teachers free to teach. Post-secondary education needs to remain free from political interference.

Sur les campus collégiaux et universitaires canadiens, la population étudiante doit être libre d’apprendre et le corps professoral doit être libre d’enseigner. L’enseignement postsecondaire doit être libre de toute ingérence politique.

Job security, fair pay, and benefits for contract faculty will deliver fairness for workers and protect the high‐quality education our students deserve. #Fairness4CF #MakeItFair ocufa.on.ca/fairness makeitfair.caut.ca

It doesn’t have to be this way. With an 11.75% increase in funding, universities could make more permanent, tenured positions for contract faculty. #Fairness4CF #MakeItFair #CDNPSE ocufa.on.ca/fairness makeitfair.caut.ca

Ontario is in last place compared to all other provinces and territories when it comes to funding the university sector. #Fairness4CF #MakeItFair #CDNPSE ocufa.on.ca/fairness makeitfair.caut.ca

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 #CDNPSE ocufa.on.ca/fairness makeitfair.caut.ca

It’s time for job security, fair pay, and benefits for contract faculty! Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions. #Fairness4CF #MakeItFair #CDNpse ocufa.on.ca/fairness and makeitfair.caut.ca/

OCUFA is calling on the provincial government to invest 11.75% into our universities over the next five years to ensure #Fairness4CF, students, and all campus workers to improve campus conditions for everyone. #TogetherWeCan #OnLAB #BrockU #OnPOLI #CDNPSE #ONPSE #ONLAB ocufa.on.ca/fairness

Many #ContractFaculty can't put down roots on campus because their jobs are unstable. OCUFA calls for an 11.75% increase in funding investment in our universities over the next five years to create good jobs, strong campuses, and strong communities. #TogetherWeCan #Fairness4CF ocufa.on.ca/fairness

With an 11.75% increase in provincial #OnPSE funding, we could bring student-to-faculty ratios closer to the national average and make more contract faculty permanent. #Fairness4CF #BrockU #OnLAB #OnPOLI #CdnPSE #TogetherWeCan ocufa.on.ca/fairness

It doesn’t have to be this way. OCUFA is proposing an 11.75% annual increase to #ONPSE provincial funding over the next five years, ensure job security and #Fariness4CF. #BrockU #CdnPSE #ONPOLI #ONLAB #TogetherWeCan ocufa.on.ca/fairness
