Today, OCUFA is meeting with Ontario MPPs to discuss the serious threats facing our education sector. Ontario provides its universities with the lowest amount of total provincial funding per-domestic full-time equivalent (FTE) student in Canada, and it’s not close.

(1/2) OCUFA’s annual Advocacy Day is fast approaching. This Wednesday, November 5, 2025, faculty and academic librarians will connect directly with Ontario MPPs to discuss the importance and value of Ontario’s world-class public universities.
Split image with a black and white photo of a coffee table between two figures with only hands and knees visible. One, in a light suit, has the fingertips of his hands pressed together while the figure across is holding a pen and some papers, dressed in a dark suit. On the table between them are some coasters and a pen inside a folder displaying the OCUFA logo.

On the left side of the image is a purple gradient box on the left, overlayed white text reads: OCUFA 2025 Advocacy Day. Our annual Advocacy Day brings Ontario MPPs into conversation with faculty and academic librarians. Wednesday, November 5, 2025.

Let’s not give up on protecting the Canadian environment during the chaos of Trump’s presidency. My opinion piece for @theglobeandmail.com #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Opinion: Without Canada, there is no Canadian environment to protect
But this doesn’t mean we should give up on sustainability in a panicked response to Donald Trump

Earlier this year, I received news that fake peer reviews were allegedly being submitted impersonating me and approximately six others I shared my story with Science to, hopefully, reduce the chance of this kind of breach happening again www.science.org/content/arti...
