CUASA Response to OCUA Discussion Paper



Sustaining Quality in Changing Times, Funding Ontario Universities'



SUMMARY



 	The function of a university in a free society is the

dissemination and advancement of knowledge and critical comment on society

at large.



 	The premise on which the OCUA discussion paper is based does not

offer a model that allows universities to provide this function

effectively for Ontario.



 	A simple model for funding and accountability is required.  It

should be based on consistent public funds, private donations and student

tuition.



 	Intrinsic components of the model are the advancement and

dissemination of knowledge by means of the unique synergy of teaching,

research and scholarship.



 	Also intrinsic is the arms-length relationship of the government.



 	Part of the model must be universal access to university, based on ability.

Full-time or Reduced Workload Options for Members About to Reach Sixty-Five



In at least one faculty members approaching the age of 65 have been

receiving letters from the administrator which fail to point out the

options of continuing full-time or on a reduced work-load in accordance

with provisions of the Collective Agreement [article 40.8(e)].  We urge

members to read that section and know their rights.
