The StFXAUT acknowledges it is operating in Mi’kma’ki, the unceded ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaw people.
A secure retirement is not a luxury, it’s a right.
Faculty stepped up when Laurentian entered insolvency, because we know what this university means to our community.
We never wanted to be here, but we were left with no other choice.

What are LUFA's priorities for a fair deal?
(1) Pensions, (2) Compensation, and (3) Workload
LUFA members want a deal that improves supports for students, boosts morale, and attracts and retain talent.

When Canada extended copyright protections to 70 years after the death of a creator, the public domain was frozen. No new works will be entering the Canadian public domain until 2043.
The Copyright Act shouldn’t be a barrier between Canadians and their cultural heritage.
