Full-time faculty members have a duty to participate in University governance. As with Teaching and Research, such Service is protected by the principles of academic freedom. While NOT normally subject to additional compensation (beyond the terms of the collective agreement), no faculty member should feel obligated to undertake specific Service activities against their will. Please contact us if you feel that you are being improperly pressured to take on Service work.

Part-time faculty members are NOT normally expected to participate in University governance. Should you ever agree to do any work that goes beyond your contractual Teaching responsibilities, you must be fairly compensated via a further contract of Additional Duties. Please contact us if you have any concerns.

FAUST offers compensation for travel-related expenses whenever union members teaching in remote locations wish to visit the Fredericton campus for union or professional development activities. Appropriate compensation is provided on a case-by case basis and generally requires submission of expense receipts.

If your contract specifies that a course is to be delivered off-campus, you may have additional rights and protections. Please contact faust@stu.ca for more information.

This is a complex, long-term project that requires serious investments of time and resources from all members of the university community. For some guiding principles, see the CAUT Policy.

We now have an ad hoc committee on Indigenization of the Academic Workplace. If you are interested in becoming involved, contact faust@stu.ca.
