The Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies is striking a working group to “collectively create a faculty-wide security plan.” This working group will be composed of representatives from YUFA, YUSA, CPM, and SCOLAPS, as well as two members from CUPE 3903 (one each from units 1 and 2). The last few months has seen a number of safety issues emerge within LAPS for our members. Having representation on this working group will ensure that the concerns of contract faculty and teaching assistants within the Faculty are heard.
If you teach in LAPS as either Unit 1 or Unit 2 and want to nominate yourself for one of these positions, please email Stacey Berquist at cupe3903vpu1@gmail.com by 5pm on Thursday October 22nd. If the positions are contested, there will be a vote at the October 23rd general membership meeting.
For more information on the working group, see the memorandum from the Dean here.
