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.

Really appreciated MPP Rob Cerjanec meeting with Queen’s University professors today to discuss how correcting the underfunding of #Ontario universities is critical for boosting the province’s economy. @OCUFA #OntarioPSE

@jennkfrench.bsky.social Thank you MPP Jennifer French for meeting with professors from Queen’s and Trent University concerned about the societal consequences of underfunding #Ontario universities @ocufa.bsky.social @trentfaculty.bsky.social

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.

(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.

Huge shout out to MPP @tedhsu for advocating for Ontario's universities at Queen's Park! Thank you for presenting the petitions from Queen's university faculty and students. #onpoli

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
