Winnipeg/ Treaty 1 territory – The Manitoba Organization of Faculty Associations (MOFA) expresses its deep concern over York University’s plans to suspend admissions in 20 academic programs at its Keele and Glendon campuses. MOFA is particularly alarmed by the process by which this decision was taken and stresses the importance of collegial governance mechanisms and the university’s commitments to equity, diversity, inclusion, and reconciliation.
MOFA stands in solidarity with the York University Faculty Association (YUFA) and its members and calls on York University to reverse the suspension of enrollments and to meaningfully consult with YUFA, students and the wider academic community at York University regarding the future of these academic programs.
The Manitoba Organization of Faculty Associations (MOFA) is comprised of members of faculty associations from Brandon University, Université de Saint-Boniface, University of Manitoba, and the University of Winnipeg representing over 1,600 individual academic staff. We are based on both Treaty 1 and Treaty 2 territories, and the homeland of the Métis Nation.
