🗳️ 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.

"Ontario provides the lowest level of funding per pupil in Canada ... Ontarians should be completely invested in what's going on at the post-secondary level ... research shows that education systems that are strong also lead to a strong economy." #ONpoli

“We need more research to understand why the work of Indigenization and reconciliation tends to be placed on women and is thereby quite gendered.”

In the latest Bulletin, Candace Brunette-Debassige discusses Indigenization at Canadian universities: https://t.co/Xi4weB2Tx6

Thank you to @UofT for making your voice heard- Ford's plan to remove bike lanes costs money that is sorely needed elsewhere in our city and makes our communities less healthy and less safe.

October 21 to 25 is Fair Employment Week. Please join @caut_acppu and @OCUFA, @cuasa, and @cupe4600 in advocating for job security for all professors. #fairness4cf

[Dalhousie Faculty Association @dalfacultyassoc]

October 21-25 is Fair Employment Week, celebrating and recognizing the many faculty at Canadian universities who make significant contributions yet don't have job security. @DalhousieU @CAUT_ACPPU @ANSUT_Tweets @cupe3912 #MakeItFair

[UTFA @utfaculty]

It’s time for job security, fair pay, and benefits for @UofT and all contract faculty!

Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions. #Fairness4CF #MakeItFair #CDNPSE https://t.co/aKUfTCBtKI https://t.co/UAPR0R8MzR

[BUFA BrockUniversity @BUFABrock]

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 #CDNPSE https://t.co/pz4zg1CuoX https://t.co/gH8Zeo3XxD

"Steering" is the practice commonly used by academic administrators that aims to give "soft" directives in a way that the administration can plausibly deny *are* directives. It is fundamentally dishonest and undermines #collegialgovernance. 1/8
