What is FAIR EMPLOYMENT WEEK?
Every year, campuses across Canada dedicate a week in October to raising awareness of the issues and working conditions faced by Contract (Sessional) Faculty. This event is organized nationally by the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) and locally by the UBC Faculty Association.
What’s happening at UBC during Fair Employment Week 2016
There will be a variety of events and activities all week, some of which will be for Contract (Sessional) Faculty only, while others will be open to the wider university community.
