SUMMARY:QUFA Town Hall About Potential USW and PSAC Job Action
DESCRIPTION:As many people know\, our staff colleagues in USW 2010 and PSAC 901 (Unit 1) will be in a legal strike position on March 10th at 12:01 am. USW 2010 represents support staff\, academic assistants\, and residence dons and PSAC 901 (Unit 1) represents graduate students who are teaching assistants\, teaching fellows\, or research assistants. Both bargaining units are continuing to meet this week to attempt to reach renewal agreements with the administration. If there are no agreements by Friday March 7th\, QUFA will hold a Town Hall to answer questions from our Members and to discuss how we can best support USW and PSAC in their efforts to negotiate a fair agreement. We will also discuss Article 12 – Strikes and Lockouts of the QUFA-Queen’s collective agreement so that you know what your rights and responsibilities are in the event of USW or PSAC job action.\n\n \nFriday March 7th\, 10:30-11:30am\nRSVP to Elizabeth Polnicky at ep43@queensu.ca for the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Panel Series - AI\, Austerity\, and Pedagogy: Generating Change in Postsecondary Education through Data
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to attend the second installment of the QUFA Political Action & Communications Committee (PACC) Panel Series\, Divesting from Austerity: Solidarity and Equity in Labour Struggles.  \nThis panel will explore the intersection of AI\, austerity politics\, and pedagogy in postsecondary education. As AI and data-driven approaches reshape educational landscapes\, we will examine how universities are using data to influence resource allocation decisions and teaching practices\, and to justify cost-cutting measures. By challenging the assumption of “neutral” data\, the panel will explore how AI and data impact not only educational policies but also pedagogy\, curriculum\, and student engagement amidst economic pressures.  \nPanelists: \n\nDan Cohen (Department of Geography & Planning)\nMilka Njoroge (PSAC 901 Bargaining Team)\nChristina Pilgrim (former PSAC 901 Information Officer)\nRebecca Sweetman (CTL)\nCatherine Stinson (Department of Philosophy) – NEW PANELIST\n\nCommenter: Norma Möllers\nModerator: Pinar Tuzcu \nOrganized by QUFA PACC members: Pinar Tuzcu and Norma Möllers. \nDate: March 7\, 2:00–3:30 pm.\nLocation: George Teves Room @ The University Club (168 Stuart St.) and on Zoom.\nEvent Format: Hybrid (In-person and Virtual). Email QUFA Office Administrator Elizabeth Polnicky (ep43@queensu.ca) for the Zoom link. Please RSVP even if you are attending in-person.
