Our Future
A message from the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT)
CAUT invites you to write to your candidates expressing concerns for post-secondary institutions.
Decades of underfunding have led to:
a significant increase in tuition fees and increased inequality on our campuses ;
a greater precarity for university staff; and
a decline in funding for research and a deterioration in the quality of education.
And the pandemic has only made a bad situation worse. The government still has no intention of including post-secondary institutions in its recovery plans.
