In our last round of bargaining, AUFA (@AcadiaFaculty) pushed hard to improve CA language around academic freedom. It is core to what we do as university faculty.
@CAUT_ACPPU David Robinson reminds us again that academic freedom exists in 🇨🇦 as a contractual right & guarantees rights to free inquiry in teaching & research but also in criticizing institutions. Academic freedom isn’t a “perk,” it’s an essential part of our jobs as academics.

AUFA (@AcadiaFaculty) stands in solidarity with @cupe_3906, which represents TAs, RAs, sessional faculty, and postdoctoral fellows at @McMasterU! #MacStrike #BetterMac #solidarity #cdnlab #cdnpse
We went into today truly hopeful #McMaster would come to the table with a fair and reasonable offer, but sadly, despite our best efforts, talks have broken down. We will be striking starting on Monday.
