The Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA) has developed an advocacy platform guide for the upcoming provincial election. The key priorities are:

• Increase total provincial university funding by 11.75 percent annually for a five-year period to bring Ontario close to the Canadian average in per-domestic student funding.
• Boost the number of funded student placements to immediately fund the 28,000 enrolled domestic students who are currently unfunded.
• Review and modify Ontario’s provincial university funding model to ensure that universities are supported to enroll academically qualified domestic students.
• Double and make permanent the Northern Ontario Grant for Universities over its 2024-25 total to reflect the immense contributions of Ontario’s Northern universities and their unique costs, with annual increases thereafter tied to inflation.
• Convert student loans into grants to directly address the affordability crisis facing Ontario families.
