#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

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
