It’s time to strengthen Ontario’s public universities

On February 27th, Ontarians are heading to the polls. OCUFA has developed an advocacy platform to mobilize for five key election priorities in our sector: 

1. Strengthen funding for universities;
2. Create resilient, affordable communities;
3. Invest long-term in Northern Ontario;
4. Keep our students in Ontario;
5. Stop the gigification of teaching; provide stable, permanent jobs.

We encourage TFA members to read the platform and raise these issues with candidates. Showing support for strong sectoral funding, long-term investments for Northern universities, removing barriers to domestic student enrolment, fairness for contract faculty, and increased student aid at all Ontario’s universities will be key to strengthening public universities in Ontario.
