Preserving the quality of university education in Ontario
OCUFA.on.ca – News – OCUFA’s recommendations for the 2017 Ontario Budget
January 20, 2017
OCUFA has set out its priorities for the 2017 Ontario Budget in a written submission to the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs. Preserving the quality of university education in Ontario provides a vision for postsecondary education founded on a strong, comprehensive system of public funding that is accessible, high quality, and provides good jobs.
Ontario’s universities currently receive the lowest level of public per-student funding in Canada, are not hiring full-time faculty at the rate necessary to keep pace with student enrolment, and have the highest student-faculty ratios in the country.
OCUFA’s recommendations to the Standing Committee include:
– Increasing per-student funding for Ontario’s universities to match the average for the rest of Canada;
– Making a commitment to supporting faculty renewal, including full-time faculty hiring that brings Ontario’s student-faculty ratio in line with the rest of Canada and replacing retiring faculty with tenure-stream positions;
– Ensuring fairness for contract faculty by strengthening employment and labour laws;
– Rejecting the use of punitive performance-based funding in the renewed university funding model; and
– Establishing a new higher education data agency to collect, analyze, and disseminate key information on Ontario’s universities.

If most people wrote about this subject with the eloquence that you just did, I’m sure people would do much more than just read, they act. Great stuff here. Please keep it up.
Have you always been concerned about these issues?
Spot on with this write-up, I actually assume this website needs far more consideration. I will in all probability be once more to learn rather more, thanks for that info.
The clarity in your post is just nice and I can tell you are an expert in the subject matter.
Just wanna admit that this is extremely helpful, Thanks for taking your time to write this.
Αν έχεις ήδη αποφασίσει να φύγεις από τις πλατφόρμες με ελληνική άδεια ΕΕΕΠ, η ερώτηση δεν είναι «αξίζει;» αλλά «ποια από αυτές αξίζει περισσότερο;». Ελέγξαμε 15 διεθνείς στοιχηματικές εταιρείες που λειτουργούν στην Ελλάδα το 2026: ανοίξαμε λογαριασμούς με ελληνικά στοιχεία, δοκιμάσαμε καταθέσεις με κάρτα και κρυπτονόμισμα, και μετρήσαμε τον πραγματικό χρόνο ανάληψης. Το βασικό κίνητρο για τους περισσότερους είναι πρακτικό: οι διεθνείς πλατφόρμες δεν εφαρμόζουν αυτόματη παρακράτηση φόρου επί των κερδών, δεν κόβουν λογαριασμούς που κερδίζουν συστηματικά και προσφέρουν ευρύτερη γραμμή με περισσότερα αθλήματα. Οι εταιρείες που ακολουθούν δέχονται εγγραφή από την Ελλάδα, η πρόσβαση στον ιστότοπο δεν απαιτεί VPN και κανένας από αυτούς δεν βρίσκεται στον κατάλογο αποκλεισμένων τοποθεσιών της ΕΕΕΠ κατά την τελευταία επικαιροποίηση.
