Town Hall - Feb 23rd - Talk about the elephant in the PSE room: Bill 12 & Academic Program Reviews, & how they are already affecting NS universities. All welcome. @stfxaut.bsky.social @acadiafaculty.bsky.social @msvufa.bsky.social @astfassoc.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

Our AUFA president, Dr. Chelsea Gardner, will be joining a wonderful group of discussants for a Townhall on Protecting Post-Secondary Education in NS. The event is on Feb 23 at 6:30pm at the Halifax Central Library. We hope you'll join us!!

Behind every inspired student is a dedicated educator. Contract academic staff teach up to 50% of undergrad courses in some faculties, shaping the future despite uncertain working conditions. Let’s value their contributions. #ANSUTstandswithCAS @dalfaculty.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social

On August 20, the Dalhousie University administration locked out its nearly 1,000 faculty, librarians, counsellors and instructors. Learn more about academic staff association strikes and lockets over the last decade in the latest Bulletin: www.caut.ca/bulletin/aca...

AUFA members were out to support @dalfaculty.bsky.social on Friday at their morning picket and noon rally. AUFA stands strongly behind the principles of fair collective bargaining and call on the Dalhousie administration to end their lockout and return to the table meaningfully!

Some of the highlights from our tentative agreement reached with Acadia University. Faculty, stay tuned to your email for further updates!

AUFA have reached a tentative agreement with Acadia University. We were very pleased to share this with our membership last week. To read a small statement from our lead negotiator: www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

Nova Scotia has proposed legislation increasing political interference in universities. Political interference in education isn’t just an American phenomenon. It’s alive and well in Canada too. Politicians should not dictate the priorities of universities.
