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.
On Feb 27, vote to end the gigification of teaching. Universities need a funding
model that supports long-term, stable, and permanent positions for contract
faculty.
Email the party leaders now and ask them to commit to #Fairness4CF:

On Canadian university and college campuses, students should be free to learn and teachers free to teach. Post-secondary education needs to remain free from political interference. https://t.co/37sS2C90e3

Thank you @JimboStanford for speaking about Investment in Universities, Education & Public Sector and its MANY Economic benefits … and benefits beyond the economy 🙏🏿 @OCUFA
Union members in Niagara didn't contribute to the growth & development of #BrockU for themselves. They wanted to leave a legacy for the community and for their children.
Thanks to @StCatStandard for highlighting this important history.

Reading @mcgill’s lawyers’ arguments on why the labor tribunal decision certifying the law professor’s union should be overturned.
Lots of word. No legal substance.

The prospect of another #Lockout or #Strike affects thousands of students looking forward to coming to #YorkUniversity this Fall. The Employer must start bargaining in good faith now to avert more costly and unnecessary labor disputes! @OCUFA@TorontoStar@CBCToronto
There is so much misinformation (to put it kindly) in the @mcgillu FAQ on our members' strike, that we have compiled a rebuttal and posted it to our webpage, https://t.co/cQx9sl93o4 in both English and French. Please read it to find out the many ways in which McGill (mis)leads.
Applying for promotion in faculty #HigherEd?
Sometimes, it helps to see examples of successful applications
I've been offering one-on-one workshops with faculty. 12 workshops later, the feedback is very encouraging, and I'm refining it as I go. The workshops are free, for any discipline, and developed specifically for folks from equity-deserving communities

CAWLS has withdrawn from Congress at @mcgillu. We refuse to cross or undermine @AMPL_AMPD’s legal picket line. We demand that @federation_hss process refunds for all participants & associations respecting picket lines.
Our annual conference will go ahead independently at @UQAM.
