The meeting will be held in Council Chambers (CC-M2) on the Peterborough campus and members may also participate from Trent's Oshawa campus (Room 126). The meeting is scheduled to finish at 6:15 pm, with receptions in Alumni House and Oshawa to follow (6:15 to 8:00 pm)

TUFA welcomes back colleagues and students for the 2011/12 academic year. Over the summer, the Association concluded several important memoranda with the Administration. Among these was a renewal of the 2011 Appendix to the Collective Agreement which addressed roles and responsibilities under the University's new academic structure. This Letter of Understanding will now expire with the current Collective Agreement. The full text of these arrangements has been posted to the Collective Agreement page

For years, our members on limited term appointments (LTAs) have commented that their Trent email accounts and access to library services have lapsed shortly after the expiration of their appointments. A new Memorandum of Agreement between the Union and the University ensures that such services will be available to LTA members from their acceptance of employment through to the September 30th following the end of their appointments.

Who we are
The Trent University Faculty Association (TUFA) was founded in 1966 as the Association of the Teaching Staff of Trent University and became the certified bargaining agent for academic staff at the University in 1979. Today, TUFA represents all academic staff and professional librarian appointed at Trent excepting those excluded by the amended OLRB certificate of June 6, 1980
The Association promotes the interest and welfare of the University's academic staff, including the regulation of relations between the University as employer and its academic staff as employees. TUFA promotes scholarship, and -- with the support of its affiliates -- contributes to the advancement of Trent University and the standards of Canada's broader academic community.
