Fight Bill 33 by sending a letter to your MPP today! www.trentfaculty.ca/wp-content/u...

Bill 33 threatens the autonomy and quality of Ontario’s public colleges and universities. Instead of fixing chronic underfunding, it adds red tape and gives the government more control. We are calling on MPPs in Peterborough and Durham to oppose or amend Bill 33 and protect public education.

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.

On Canadian university and college campuses, students should be free to learn and teachers free to teach. Post-secondary education needs to remain free from political interference. app.sosha.ai/s/l7pSMqLl
