Special thanks to DFA President Dave Westwood for his steady hand during the recent month-long lockout. Long days, little sleep, setbacks & ultimately big wins - Dave never wavered. Our union is stronger as a result of his steadfast leadership. Caricature (by www.JillQuinnBabcock.com) #keepdalstrong

This morning on 640AM, OCUFA President Rob Kristofferson explained the converging issues behind Ontario’s university funding crisis. We can’t rely on international tuition to prop up the system, the province must invest in postsecondary education to support students. Listen here: bit.ly/3XXUNfz
Graphic from interview done by OCUFA President Rob Kristofferson on Global News Radio 640 Toronto's “Toronto Today with Greg Brady.” The quote reads: “International students bring economic benefits to the universities and colleges they go to and the communities they reside in, and they add to our classroom vibrancy. The problem is rooted in provincial funding for colleges and universities.” — Rob Kristofferson, OCUFA President. Below the quote are headshots of Rob Kristofferson and radio host Greg Brady, with an audio waveform graphic at the bottom.

(1/4) While the Ontario government has announced new funding reviews, Ontario’s public universities continue to receive the lowest level of provincial funding in the country, and it is not close.

Les normes internationales doivent évoluer. Actualiser les recommandations UNESCO/OIT sur le statut de la profession enseignante garantira qu’elles prennent en compte les défis de l’IA et préservent les droits dans une éducation numérique.

La majorité de la population canadienne souhaite vivre dans un pays où les personnes immigrantes et réfugiées peuvent s’épanouir.

Mais certains responsables politiques semblent avoir du mal à l’entendre.

Alors, faisons entendre nos voix : On fait mieux ensemble.
