Nigmendra Narain speaks truth about Ontario's manufactured university crisis ON has an abysmal ratio of 1 professor:34 students. ON funding $6000 below national average. International students are 17% of enrollment but 45% of revenue. Another Ford manufactured public crisis.

Nigmendra Narain & I discuss what a robust, fully funded university system looks like & how we can get there. However, Narain points out there is one caveat, “We need to have the courage of the 1960s.” And, that means don't vote Ford! #OCUFA #NDP #Jama

I don’t know of any work on this issue being done by #OCUFA. Which university labour unions are addressing this issue?

This is a graphic on a turquoise and yellow background. The illustration shows a group of people standing with fists in the air in front of the Queen's Park Legislature building. There is a gear graphic that shows 11.75% in the centre of the crowd. The text reads: Together we can! Together, we can win job security for contract faculty. Contract faculty are hired by individual course or on limited-term appointments. Many must reapply for their jobs every term, are hired to teach courses for less pay than their full-time, tenure-stream colleagues, and lack access to benefits. OCUFA. Sessionals Count! 70% of Sessionals have worked beyond their contracts to accommodate students, and many have supervised students, but the University fails to recognize this labour with compensation #RaiseTheBarOCADU #TogetherWeCan. The OCADFA logo is in the bottom right corner.

In solidarity with #OCADU Sessional Instructors and Contract Workers at all universities in Ontario.
