FAUW’s priorities for 2019-2020

These are the key items we’re aiming to get through this year, in addition to preparing for negotiations at the end of 2020 and inevitably weighing in on more proposals from the provincial government.

• Policy development: Improvements and clarity around the policy drafting process, better supporting our representatives on policy drafting committees, and getting a few policies into (if not through) the approval process. Candidates are the policies on ethical behaviour (33), parental leave (14), accommodations (57, new), and faculty appointments (76).
• Conflict of interest guidelines: See item #3 from the September 12 Board meeting below. 
• Workload: We want to see clear and consistent definitions (and monitoring) of how teaching and other faculty work is counted across campus.
• Representation: We plan to issue position statements on our relationship with research professors and sessional instructors.
