Community Partners
UTFA works with a network of organizations committed to protecting, improving, and sustaining public post-secondary education. We represent U of T faculty and librarians in our dealings with counterpart organizations across the campus, across Ontario, and all across Canada.
UTFA takes its responsibility to the wider University of Toronto community very seriously. Through our national and provincial umbrellas, we play a key role in both public policy and the defense of faculty rights. That’s what being part of a community is all about.
