Thanks to everyone who joined us for the WLUFA Fall Social!

It was great to catch up with colleagues, meet new faces, share a meal, and spend time together outside the workday.

These gatherings help strengthen the connections that make our Association a community.

This is an important study showing the value of living on campus. One problem, though, is that, b/c #onpse is uniform in love for city-sized #universities, I suspect benefits will breakdown at scale. We need to return to smaller communities of scholars in #cdnpse. theconversation.com/toronto-stud...
Toronto students who live in residence get better grades, study finds
A study of more than 750,000 student records from four Toronto universities finds that living in residence is linked to better grades and higher satisfaction, especially for first-year students.

Congrats to @wlufa.bsky.social on making gains for their contract faculty unit in their recent round of bargaining.

These are important steps towards ensuring #fairness4cf across our province and ending the gigifications of teaching in #onpse.

Following the recent Member ratification vote, WLUFA’s Contract Faculty Members at Laurier are set to make some gains, but there is still more work to do to address precarity and advance fairness for Contract Faculty across the sector. tinyurl.com/cfsmdoa @ocufa.bsky.social #Fairness4CF

Today is OCUFA's Day of Action in support of #fairness4CF.

#ONPSE is increasingly being run on gig-style academic work, a result of years of provincial underfunding. The system is under strain, and students and faculty feel the impact.

In Ontario, every $1 invested in the post secondary sector generates a positive return of $1.36 and without secure funding from the provincial government, we risk not having the talent and research needed to foster economic and social growth.

Blame for the impending catastrophe facing Ontario's colleges and universities lies squarely with the Conservative government, rather than with the international students exploited to fill the revenue shortfalls Doug Ford created in our system.

At colleges and universities across Ontario, jobs are being eliminated, student services are being cut, programs are getting cancelled, and entire campuses are shutting down. Without increased operating funding now, the cuts are just beginning.
