About

The Huron University College Faculty Association (the HUCFA) is a certified labour union representing all Huron faculty and academic librarians employed at Huron University College.

We have a constitutional mandate to uphold “the rights and obligations of the faculty and librarians at Huron University College, and promotes those legal protections and human rights that enable academic teaching and research to contribute to the public life of a democratic society. In addition to negotiating and protecting our Collective Agreement and its associated terms and conditions of employment, we defend academic freedom and advocate for institutional priorities that support the teaching and research of our members and promote a healthy and ethical system of post-secondary public education.”

The HUCFA certified as a union with the Ontario Labour Relations Board in February 2019 and represents all teaching staff at Huron. In May 2024, the HUCFA welcomed Huron’s academic librarians as part of our Association, formally certifying them as part of our union in July 2025. The HUCFA is a member of both the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations and the Canadian Association of University Teachers.
