If we want strong universities, we need proper public funding. Underfunding fuels precarious contracts, inequitable pay, and fewer supports for students. Investing in our universities means better education for everyone. Read the op-ed: #Fairness4CF https://t.co/cWLladBmwV

More than 10,000 full-time college support staff are ON STRIKE as of 12:01 a.m. This is not just a fight for a contract – it’s about the future of student support. We’re fighting because we know our students need us.

Canada's post-secondary sector is facing some of the largest cuts we’ve seen. All levels of government need to work together to properly fund post-secondary. Act now! https://t.co/0gQiJucSBG

[Lakehead University Faculty Association (LUFA) @LakeheadLufa]

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.

🚨 This election, let’s stand up for job security in higher education! 🚨

Many contract faculty rely on “part-time” teaching as their full-time income. It’s time to stop the gigification of teaching and support permanent positions.

“If you cut a program just because its number of majors doesn’t meet some kind of an accounting threshold, you’re being very short-sighted about the academic perspectives that are offered by the university as a whole,” said Ellie Perkins, YUFA President. https://t.co/zZVY5Tqf2F
