Thanks @kellishale, and to all students, staff, and faculty who joined this year’s Contract Faculty – Fair Employment Week. Discussing the precarious, unfair conditions many CF face is key to improving fairness in all academic workplaces. #MakeItFair#FT4CF@CAUT_ACPPU@OCUFA

Fair Employment Week is October 21-25. Please take a moment to recognize your DFA colleagues on LTA and others employed on contract. They make an invaluable contribution to post-secondary education. #MakeItFair@CAUT_ACPPU@ANSUT_Tweets @CUPE3912 @WilfSwartz
At least one third of academic staff at Canadian universities and colleges are employed on short term-contracts.
This #FairEmploymentWeek, join us in calling for the fair treatment of contract academic staff.

So what is it and what does it look like?
Follow along to learn more.

Contract faculty are responsible for a significant percentage of university teaching, but have access to fewer resources than tenured faculty including offices, benefits, and research funding. This impacts the student experience and contributes to stress and burnout. #fairness4CF
