In 2024, Premier Wakeham said abandoning Memorial University and telling it to 'go fix your problems' was 'not good enough.' These are his own words, on the record with CBC. Budget-2026 is his chance to prove he believed them.

The hollowing out of public postsecondary education: What do we have to lose? - CCPA Is post-secondary education in Canada a pipeline to train students for jobs or a source of critical perspectives essential to a healthy society?

"It is now time for a federal-provincial strategy on public postsecondary education: essential infrastructure in this nation-building era."

CAUT President Robin Whitaker on the hollowing out of public postsecondary education: www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Memorial Matters: Newfoundland and Labrador is famous for its music, literature, and folklore. This wouldn't be possible without Memorial. Funding Memorial means contributing the future of culture, visual arts, and tourism in this province. - Faculty member

Memorial Matters: The green energy transition is already underway and Memorial drives innovation in environmental sustainability, renewable energy, and social impact. We need an educated workforce, job creation, and applied research for a just energy transition and resilient energy grid. This won't happen without Memorial University. - Dr. Rachel Jekanowski, Assistant Professor (MUN Grenfell Campus)

Memorial Matters: "I have been asked to help two community groups, The Legion and The Corner Brook Museum and Archives to assist in interviewing older community members with special historic and cultural knowledge so that we can preserve their experiences for future generations. This is not part of my research but a donation of my time and skills to help my community. I am privileged and honoured to have helped preserve the legacy of World War II, Korean War and members who served in several peace-keeping missions. I have a special skillset in conducting oral history interviews honed over 30 years of professional experience. My job and my profession helps my community." - Faculty member

@munfapres.bsky.social Dr. Lisa Moores and other Executive member’s met with Minister of Education Paul Dinn today to talk about what is happening at Memorial University. 1/4

Memorial Matters: "Grenfell Campus in Corner Brook was a turning point in my academic journey, especially as a mature student returning to school. After previous experiences at larger university campuses where lecture halls held 200+ students, I found Grenfell to be a completely different and far more rewarding environment. The smaller class sizes created a more intimate and engaging learning experience, where discussions felt meaningful and participation came naturally. What stood out most was the opportunity to truly connect with professors. I never felt like just another number on a roster; instead, I felt seen, supported, and encouraged. That level of accessibility made a huge difference in my confidence and success. Grenfell provided not just an education, but a community where I could thrive, grow, and rediscover my academic potential." - Student

Memorial Matters: "As a librarian, I make learning and discovery accessible to all. I support our newest students as they begin their studies and work on their first research projects. I work with our seasoned researchers as they navigate complex webs of information. I help our community members make sense of the shifting information landscapes around them, exploring everything from generative AI to the news and social media. Our librarians and archivists across the university enable and encourage hands-on history making, inspire the creation of new art and literature, inform scientific development, and champion critical thinking. I am proud to be among them, shaping a flourishing learning community and contributing to the knowledge-making and creative expression that define our province." - Chelsea Humphries, Librarian faculty member (MUN Grenfell Campus)

Stand in solidarity with your colleagues at the University of King's College Teachers' Union. They are in a legal strike position mid-next week. Rally this Tuesday at 10 am, King's Quad.

Provinces across Canada are investing in post-secondary education. Ontario. Saskatchewan. Meanwhile, Newfoundland and Labrador’s only university faces cuts, fewer courses, and larger classes. The NL budget is coming. This government has a clear choice to make. #WeAreMUN

These are the kinds of stories we keep hearing.
A course that changed someone’s life.
A reason someone stayed in Newfoundland and Labrador.
A degree that helped build a career, a business, a future.
A hope that the next generation gets the same chance. 1/2

Nipissing University president’s $83K raise draws concern amid cuts, uncertainty Nipissing University's president received a $83,000 raise from 2024 to 2025.

"The president’s raise alone would have been the rough equivalent of a 1.5 per cent raise for all of our contract faculty this year,” Robin Gendron, NUFA President

Hier encore, sous la pression des étudiants et du personnel académique, le gouvernement du Canada a annoncé (buff.ly/XZYXs1j ) une prolongation de la part fédérale de 4200$ de la bourse pour l’année prochaine. Maintenant, il faut #BoostezLesBourses.

Aujourd’hui, des étudiants et des travailleurs descendent dans les rues partout en Ontario pour exiger l’annulation des coupes proposées au RAFÉO. Ces coupes auront des conséquences désastreuses pour les étudiants issus de familles à faible et moyens revenus.

Nous savons que l’union fait la force.

Just yesterday, following student and academic staff pressure, the Government of Canada announced (buff.ly/XiFWSDN) an extension of the $4,200 maximum federal portion of the grant for next year. Next we need to #GrowtheGrants.

Today students and workers hit the streets across Ontario to demand a reversal of the proposed cuts to OSAP student grants. These will devastate students from low- and middle-income families.

We know that working together works.
