It is our day of action for contract academics/C'est la journée de militantisme pour le personnel académique contractuel
by U Of M Institute For The Humanities 11 Feb '20

11 Feb '20

Dear Friends of the UMIH, February 12th is the national Day of Action for Contract Academics. According to CAUT, about 1 out of every 2 undergraduate students is taught by contract academics and, on average, contract academics are paid 1/3 less per course than regular professors. (https://www.caut.ca/bulletin/2017/10/numbers-contract-academic-staff-canada) The UMIH was incredibly lucky to host a visit by Dr. Sarika Bose, chair of CAUT's Contract Academic Staff Committee, earlier this term to share with us her insightful research and action plans. Please consider participating in this important day by sharing information with your students and colleagues, signing the petition and contacting your MP, and participating in the #makeitfair campaign on social media. Sincerely, Serenity Joo ________________________________ From: CAUT/ACPPU <comms(a)caut.ca> Sent: February 6, 2020 8:15 AM To: Bose, Sarika Subject: It is our day of action for contract academics/C'est la journée de militantisme pour le personnel académique contractuel February 2020 *Le français suit View this email in your browser<https://mailchi.mp/da3bb7fbc247/it-is-our-day-of-action-for-contract-academ…> [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/6f34f95050d01054def96de44/images/32e1084a-c8e…]<https://caut.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6f34f95050d01054def96de44&i…> Dear colleagues, The annual social media day of action for contract academic staff is on February 12th. Provincial governments across Canada have announced drastic cuts to education, which will further compromise the working conditions of all academic staff. It is time for the federal government to step up and reinvest in universities and colleges. We need a stronger federal partner to ensure a high-quality, affordable and accessible post-secondary education that does not rely on precarious contract jobs. Call on<https://caut.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6f34f95050d01054def96de44&i…> your Member of Parliament to take bold action to support our universities and colleges and commit to a renewed investment in the sector. Together, we can make it fair. Share our message on social media using the hashtags #MakeitFair and #Fairness4CF.

Les gouvernements provinciaux d’un bout à l’autre du pays ont annoncé d'importantes compressions en éducation qui dégraderont les conditions de travail déjà précaires de tout le personnel académique. Il est grand temps que le gouvernement fédéral agisse et réinvestisse dans les universités et collèges. Nous avons besoin d’un partenaire fédéral solide pour assurer une éducation postsecondaire de qualité, abordable et accessible qui ne repose pas sur des emplois contractuels précaires. Demandez<https://caut.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6f34f95050d01054def96de44&i…> à votre député de soutenir nos universités et collèges et s'engageant à réinvestir dans le secteur.
