[Fdu] Support Seneca faculty: Join today's solidarity rally

[Cynthia Wright]

Over 12,000 Ontario college faculty, including our colleagues at Seneca 
@ York, are currently on strike. Their demands include:

- A 50:50 ratio of full-time to contract faculty, which currently sits 
at over 70% contract faculty
- Increased job security for partial-load faculty, who currently work on 
one-semester contracts
- Academic freedom to give faculty a stronger voice in academic 
decision-making

YUFA, along with the York Cross-Campus Alliance, issued this statement 
<https://www.yufa.ca/yufa-supports-ontario-college-faculty/> on Sunday 
to support their demands.

Please join us today for a solidarity rally on campus:
