SMU Senate Petition |
Part-time Faculty are currently ineligible to vote and serve on the Saint Mary's University Senate.
CUPE 3912 members teach one third of SMU courses but have no say in 'educational policy' including courses of study, admission standards, diploma qualifications, and the creation, maintenance, and discontinuance of faculties and departments.
This ineligibility is because the Senate does not recognize part-time faculty as academic staff—despite the Saint Mary’s University Act saying otherwise. CUPE 3912 has tried various other avenues at addressing this inequity, but enough is enough.
