Underfunding academic staff puts frontline teaching and research at risk.
Albertans are proud to have a world-class university in Edmonton, delivering a great education to students and contributing critical research to the world.
Help us protect teaching and research at the U of A way by sending a letter to the Premier, the Minister, and the Chair of the Board of Governors today.
The U of A’s academic staff are at the heart of the teaching and research that make the university great.
But massive provincial cuts put that at risk and leadership at the U of A isn’t investing on frontline learning.
That means:
- Top researchers are leaving
- More than 50% of classes at the university are taught by contract instructors without secure jobs, and
- Students are paying more every year in tuition.
To recruit and retain the teachers and researchers that make our university great, they need stable jobs and competitive wages.
Help us put pressure on the provincial government and university leadership to re-invest in the frontlines at the University of Alberta by writing a letter now.
