More reading on academic freedom

Over the past two decades, the University of Victoria Faculty Association (UVicFA) has steadily built ways to support members with a range of issues arising from accommodation for both visible and invisible disabilities, chronic conditions, and other related concerns.

Since 2020, the Ontario College of Art and Design University has carried out three sets of so-called "cluster hires" -- first, four tenure-track faculty who self-identify as Indigenous, and then two others for Black instructors.

When University of Lethbridge (UL) hiring or tenure review committees onboard new members these days, they are given a somewhat unusual training document: a copy of a 2018 ruling by Ontario arbitrator William Kaplan in a case involving Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan University) and its academic staff association.
