Provinces across Canada are investing in post-secondary education. Ontario. Saskatchewan. Meanwhile, Newfoundland and Labrador’s only university faces cuts, fewer courses, and larger classes. The NL budget is coming. This government has a clear choice to make. #WeAreMUN bit.ly/4sbzKD2 bit.ly/4tkgbsX

#WeAreMUN #WorthFunding @munfaculty.bsky.social

These are the kinds of stories we keep hearing. A course that changed someone’s life. A reason someone stayed in Newfoundland and Labrador. A degree that helped build a career, a business, a future. A hope that the next generation gets the same chance. 1/2 #WeAreMUN

I believe in MUN because I believe in the future of our province! The creativity and dedication of the students keeps me going every day, and I am so happy to be able to build my career at MUN. #WeAreMUN

When I was in grade 8 or 9 a professor from the Corner Brook campus organized a math Olympiad event in my town for students. My team did well in the event and it was one of the first times that I knew I could succeed at university and encouraged my path in astronomy. #WeAreMUN

#WeAreMUN I joined MUN in a snowy December 17 years ago It has become my home, work, community everything 💕 It is so sad to see what is happening to it 💔 It sure is #WorthInvesting

A study that started with a MUN student is influencing diagnostic guidelines for a rare disease: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #WeAreMUN #WorthFunding @munfaculty.bsky.social

If investing in our only university seems costly, wait until you see the costs of not funding it ⬇️ Memorial University matters @munfaculty.bsky.social #WeAreMUN #FundMUN

If we want MUN graduates to invest their education and skills in NL’s Health systems…maybe NL should invest in them @munfaculty.bsky.social #WeAreMUN #FundMUN

"Memorial’s math teams have consistently demonstrated their prowess in the competition since 2015, securing first place in all but two." gazette.mun.ca/teaching-and... #WeAreMUN #WorthFunding @munfaculty.bsky.social

Across Memorial, we are seeing the real impacts of ongoing funding cuts. Programs are changing. Jobs are being lost. Teaching and learning conditions are under pressure. The impacts are not abstract. They affect our classrooms, our colleagues, and our students.1/3 #WeAreMUN

According to admin, early retirement packages are problematic because they mean a loss of the people we really need. How is this different than firing contractual faculty? #WeAreMUN @munfaculty.bsky.social [I posted this question at town hall, but is it "waiting for review" and not being released.]

MUNFA President Dr. Lisa Moores and Vice-President (Internal) Dr. Russell Williams met with Official Opposition Leader MHA John Hogan and Education Critic MHA Bernard Davis to advocate for increased funding for Memorial University ahead of the provincial budget. 1/3

MUNFA President Dr. Lisa Moores, VP Internal Dr. Russell Williams, and VP External Dr. Erika Merschrod met with the @nlndp.bsky.social caucus today to discuss the current situation at Memorial, including job losses among Teaching Term Appointments and the future of Memorial University. 1/2

President of @munfaculty.bsky.social, Dr. Lisa Moores, will be on CBC morning show tomorrow around 7:50 talking about cuts at MUN, including the loss of first year math instructors.

This is my department. I may lose many of my colleagues, who are excellent teachers and have taught almost all of our first year courses for years and years.

Proposed cuts in Mathematics & Statistics would eliminate 7 of 8 teaching positions and reduce first-year course sections students depend on. As the provincial budget approaches, faculty are urging government to reinvest in Memorial. 1/2

Listen to Memorial University Professors Josh Lepawski, Terry-Lynn Young, Chris Parrish, Nancy Dahn and Barbara Lou Neis speak about What may be lost with cuts to Memorial University. youtu.be/G9H45uME-iY?...

Grateful for the time, care, and commitment our members bring to the faculty association and university community. Wishing everyone a well-earned break filled with rest and joy as we recharge for the year ahead. Happy Holidays!

We’re bringing all the political parties together to talk about the future of post-secondary in NL. Sept 24 | 7 pm | Bruneau Centre. Parking available in Lot 18 by the Library.

Algoma University faculty need your help! Admissions to five programs were suspended without consultation, impacting students, electives, and entire degree pathways. Sign the petition in our bio to help save these programs.

Senate is the highest academic decision-making body at Memorial. It is where faculty fight to protect academic quality, challenge cuts, and shape the future of our university. Memorial’s Senate needs your engagement. Here’s how to take part. 1/6

On the line when the workers got word that the Minister of Labour is stepping in to end the strike. Shame.

Today, the MUN Campus Coalition, representing over 20,000 members of the university community, sent an open letter to Minister Howell and Premier Furey calling on them to meet with stakeholders and to restore funding to MUN.

“Memorial University graduates are our doctors, our teachers, our nurses, our future. It is an incubator for innovation and an economic driver for our province. Memorial University was once a crowning achievement of our province. Please do not squander its potential.”

Honestly, the Furey government has absolutely broken the University with hairbrained schemes designed to make Furey budgets look better. That was it. That was the whole point. The unwillingness to move on and fix what they did is going to cost them. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"When I think about education, I don't think about it as a cost. I think about it as an investment," Tony Wakeham. Wakeham slams Liberals for fumbling MUN's financial struggles www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Proud to stand in solidarity with @cupw Local 126 in St. John’s. We made a donation to the Local on behalf of our members. One day longer, one day stronger. ✊🏼

In real terms, provincial government funding to the University has been cut by 40-50% in recent years - that's a serious thing for any public institution to try to deal with... Blaming the problems of the University on a small decrease in enrolments is a strange analysis.

MUNFA Member Message - Response to Budget Update from Dr. Bose. munfa.ca/munfa-messag...

Remember, mourn, organize, take action. December 6 is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada. This day marks the anniversary of the massacre in 1989 of 14 young women at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal. They died because they were women.

55,000 postal workers across Canada are on strike this morning. They’re fighting for fair wages, safe working conditions, the right to retire with dignity, and the expansion of services at the public post office. Solidarity with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers! ✊

Just another day at Memorial University dodging mystery wetness dropping from the ceiling...

Did you know? Memorial University adds approx. $627M to our economy each year. Alumni have earned $1.37B in additional income / year due to their degrees from MUN. The ripple effect is $2B /yr. Funding MUN is an investment in our province & people. Send a message to your MHA at www.fundmun.ca
