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.

Really appreciated MPP Rob Cerjanec meeting with Queen’s University professors today to discuss how correcting the underfunding of #Ontario universities is critical for boosting the province’s economy. @OCUFA #OntarioPSE

@jennkfrench.bsky.social Thank you MPP Jennifer French for meeting with professors from Queen’s and Trent University concerned about the societal consequences of underfunding #Ontario universities @ocufa.bsky.social @trentfaculty.bsky.social

(1/2) OCUFA’s annual Advocacy Day is fast approaching. This Wednesday, November 5, 2025, faculty and academic librarians will connect directly with Ontario MPPs to discuss the importance and value of Ontario’s world-class public universities.

Huge shout out to MPP @tedhsu for advocating for Ontario's universities at Queen's Park! Thank you for presenting the petitions from Queen's university faculty and students. #onpoli

Earlier this year, I received news that fake peer reviews were allegedly being submitted impersonating me and approximately six others I shared my story with Science to, hopefully, reduce the chance of this kind of breach happening again www.science.org/content/arti...
