My two-year term as President ended on April 30^th, and I want to thank all members for the honour and pleasure of serving Queen’s University through my service to QUFA. To get a feel for the organization and for those who keep it running, one of my first activities as President was to do an audit of the needs of the association. I was amazed to find that there were at least 156 positions on the QUFA Executive and Council, QUFA committees and caucuses, as well as University and External bodies that needed to be filled. A call for ‘new blood’ to fill vacancies and to bring fresh ideas and perspectives to the organization met with an overwhelming response. Indeed, it was so successful that we actually had more volunteers than vacancies this past year and have started a reserve list of members who can be called upon as necessary (more names are always welcome). In leaving, I want to thank the nearly 100 members who were active, became active, and continued to be active throughout my term. It is through your efforts and that of the competent and efficient staff in the QUFA office (Elaine Berman and Rhonda Clark-George) that QUFA has been and continues to be effective in addressing the employment needs of faculty, librarians, and archivists here at Queen’s.

The agenda for my Presidency was set for me when I took office in the spring of 2000. It was clear that the focus would be on bargaining in both years, and it was. Overall, I think that we have done fairly well for members in these two rounds of negotiations --- a 5% increase in scale including special adjustments for our lowest paid members; raises in the Assistant Professor floor, which increase the value of each merit point, raises in the level of the cut-off for the junior increment and in the three levels where the senior abatements start, the addition of child care benefits and a tuition benefit, and improvements for adjuncts are some of the highlights. Admittedly, there is more to be done. Next year, however, we will have a rest.

When you look at the agenda for the Annual General Meeting, especially at the list of reports to be given by officers and committee chairs, you may wonder what the President actually does. Because the President is responsible and accountable for the functioning of the organization as a whole, s/he has an advisory or leadership or monitoring role in all activities. For example, in addition to decision-making with day-to-day issues, and answering telephone and e-mail queries, as part of my duties as President, I served as Chair of the QUFA Executive, and a member and active participant of the following QUFA committees: Council, the Salary & Benefits, and Normative Issues Advisory Groups that supported the Bargaining Teams, the Committee to Monitor the Collective Agreement (CMCA) Working Group which supports the Joint Committee to Administer the Agreement (JCAA), and the Nominations Committee. The reports that follow will detail the committee accomplishments. At the University level, I served on Senate, met monthly with the Principal, and attended the meetings of the Board of Trustees. At the provincial level, I served as a Director on the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations, while at the national level, I participated in the meetings of the Canadian Association of University Teachers. It has been a busy and productive two years.

If I have any regret, it is that I have not been able to find a remedy to the historical injustices that have been brought to my attention by senior faculty, males and females across a wide range of disciplines, as they look back at their career and forward to retirement within the near future. Such issues as the failure to promote women from Associate to the rank of Professor along with their male counterparts who are now retiring as Professors Emeriti, a distinction which is only awarded to those who attain the rank of Professor’, or the awarding of merit scores below 10 in the years when there had to be ‘donors’ to reward ‘high-flyers’ a practice which had the effect of lowering career salary and pension, are troublesome. It is not for lack of trying. However, discussions at Executive meetings and with legal advisors generated no immediate remedies. During my first year as Past President, I will chair an ad-hoc committee to review the constitution. You will have noticed that over the past two years, a number of constitutional amendments have been brought to the AGM for consideration. It is only now, with several years of experience behind us, that we are in a position to do such a review.

My time is up. I have enjoyed my term as President and I look forward to my term as Past President. Again, I thank all of you who have contributed to the successes of my presidency.

Report of QUFA Negotiating Team

Detailed highlights of the settlement were sent to all members of the bargaining unit in a QUFACTS Bargaining Update (dated April 4, 2002), entitled Tentative Settlement Reached: Report to Bargaining Unit members Prior to Ratification Vote. The new three year agreement between QUFA and the University Administration was based on compromises. Some components included in the settlement were very positive and others were disappointing: e.g., QUFA was unable to make more progress with benefits, leaves and working conditions. It was a fair agreement overall, and its financial gains were consistent with other universities in the province who settled this year. Queen's salaries for faculty, librarians, and archivists in the bargaining unit are near the top of Ontario and Canadian university salaries. Starting salaries, however, continue to escalate, and faculty retention will continue to be a problem over the next three years. While the Principal's Anomaly Fund can be used to meet market demand in some disciplines, serious salary anomalies will develop if the Administration applies the fund in a discriminatory way.

The negotiations took an enormous amount of time and energy from the Bargaining Team: Constance Adamson (Stauffer Library), Beatriz de Alba-Koch (Spanish/Italian), and Richard Greenfield (History), as well as much welcome advice and assistance from the numerous members of the Salary and Benefits Advisory Group and the Normative Issues Advisory Group.

Report of the QUFA Grievance Committee

New members of the Grievance Committee for the year 2002/2003 are Lynne Hanson (Law) as incoming Chair, Paul Banfield (Archives), Bill Cooper (Business), Joan Geramita (Maths & Stats), Frederick Kan (Anatomy/Cell Biology), and Karen Rudie (Electrical & Computer Engineering). I also want to thank Liz Jack (Nursing), who is retiring from the Committee, and Margaret Jamieson (Rehabilitation Therapy), who is remaining on the committee, for their efforts during this year.

In the year 2001/2002 the Grievance Committee and the Grievance Officer dealt with 127 individual inquiries/grievance cases and 7 Association grievances. While there have been some significant delays in the University's response to a number of cases under consideration, the majority have been solved with a positive outcome for QUFA Members.

The following policy matters were among the significant issues under consideration during 2001-02:

Canada Research Chairs: QUFA questioned the University's restriction of CRC nominations to external candidates. Because this criterion appeared to violate the terms of the Collective Agreement, the University will revisit this decision before the next competition is announced. CAUT compiled Canada-wide statistics on the awarding of CRCs which indicated that 85% of these appointments have been awarded to male faculty. The percentage is similar at Queen's; of the 13 CRCs awarded, only 2 were given to women.

Notification on the Process of Decertification: Recent amendments by the Ontario Government to the Labour Relations Act require that employers annually inform union members about decertification processes. The University agreed to postpone the posting of the information until after bargaining had ended. It has also agreed to append a statement clarifying that this action is a result of a change in government requirements. QUFA asked that a statement from our Association be posted along side the notice indicating the positive aspects of union membership.

Informal Grievance Process: The Grievance Committee assisted the Bargaining Committee by drafting an informal grievance process, a provision which was formally adopted in the new Grievance Article following the recent round of negotiations.

Gender Gap and Emeriti/ae Professor Status: The Grievance Committee considered a request to look at the gender gap in women's promotion to Full Professor(s) and to Professor(s) Emeritae. Inequitable access to Emeritae status by women faculty who are reaching retirement age is occurring in other universities across the country. Discussions regarding this matter are ongoing internally and at CAUT fora.

 JCAA / CMCA Report

The JCAA met only until December when it was suspended during bargaining. The primary issues which preoccupied us in the Fall had to do with the Anomalies Side Table. There were two problems in the distribution of last year's fund, one affecting a single individual and the other having to do with very large awards which were made to recent appointees in two disciplines without the consent of QUFA's members of the Side-Table. QUFA had begun the process of bringing an Association grievance on these matters when the principles at stake were agreed to by the University at the Bargaining Table. There was also a protracted struggle over the Terms of Reference for the Anomalies Fund for 2001-02, mostly with respect to the discipline groups which were to be used for purposes of comparison. Finally the Administration was reluctant to have the Side Table consider Continuing Adjuncts despite the fact that they had already agreed to their inclusion.

These issues were finally resolved at the Bargaining Table with the University agreeing to pretty much what we had been arguing for all along. A final Anomalies related matter which commanded a good bit of time and attention, was the development of guidelines for the assessment of Years of Experience, particularly with respect to non-university work which Members may have engaged in before coming to Queen's. Our aim was to develop guidelines which were both sensitive to local differences and consistent across the University. This task is now coming to a successful close, and any Member who has significant non-University work experience may wish to have his or her YOE reassessed.

We also dealt with a range of other issues. For example, we ensured that the reduced workload for junior faculty was actually implemented and we blocked a plan to require faculty to be in attendance during final exams. In general, the experience of this committee in dealing with the Administration was an extremely frustrating one this year. It took an inordinately long time to resolve issues, and the most significant were only resolved at the Bargaining Table and with grievances pending.

Report of the QUFA Council of Representatives for 2001-2002

QUFA's Council is responsible for approving, among other things, appointments to QUFA and University committees, Terms of Reference for standing committees, and the QUFA budget. The Council is also responsible for receiving the reports of QUFA committees. Since May 2001, among or in addition to these activities, Council has: received various papers and reports for discussion of issues such as deregulation and the budget; approved a number of solidarity-related donations, including support for the Manitoba and Dalhousie Faculty Associations during their strikes, and PACC sponsored events related to the deregulation controversy; provided discussion, direction and support for various bargaining issues BNormative, Salaries, and Benefits; approved a number of QUFA Constitutional Amendments; supported a Pension Board Proposal for Changes to the Plan which established a more equitable method for calculating an individual's post-retirement income; approved donations (in increments over five years) to the CAUT Academic Freedom Defence Fund; and approved the reappointment of the Grievance Officer.

Ken Ko

Report of the Political Action and Communications Committee

The primary activities of PACC in the academic year of 2001-02 centred on the future of post-secondary education both at the local level and in the province as a whole. Principal Leggett's "Pathfinder" option that was presented to the provincial government, despite considerable opposition from students in Arts and Science and by QUFA, meant that Queen's University became the focus of media attention and campus dissent throughout Ontario.

PACC worked closely with the undergraduate and graduate student associations in the organization of a De-regulation Rally (held November 28/01) and an educational forum, "The Future of Canadian Post-Secondary Public Education in Ontario" (March 22/02). The report of the latter event has been forwarded to the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT), and will be part of on-going initiatives to ensure a fully accessible and affordable public education system throughout Canada.

PACC also recommended that QUFA make solidarity donations to both the University of Manitoba ($500) and Dalhousie University ($5,000) faculty associations during their respective strike periods. Letters of support/concern were sent to Austrian colleagues in support of their struggle to maintain academic freedom, to the British Columbia government protesting its Bill 28: Public Education Flexibility and Choice Act, and the Dalhousie University President and Board of Trustees expressing support for their faculty before and during the strike. Finally, PACC recommended that QUFA pledge $5,000 per annum to the newly established CAUT Academic Freedom and Defence Fund for the next four (4) years.

An Explanation of the Junior Faculty Salary Supplement

Prior to the recent settlement the average salary at Queen's had fallen by roughly 20% in real terms since 1980. For some of those hired at the floor in the late 1990s, it had fallen by at least 30%. Our new salary settlement evens, but does not close, the inequity suffered by the latter group. Half a dozen universities in Ontario have also sought, or are seeking to remedy similar salary inequities.

Before the new settlement, salaries of junior faculty in the Humanities at Queen's were $5,000 to $10,000 lower than at other major Ontario universities (excluding U of T, which is in a league of its own). The spread in starting salaries between the humanities and the favored disciplines was the highest in Ontario (see the CAUT Bulletin, Jan. 2000, p. 36).

QUFA members of all ages shared the view that this situation should not continue. The Junior Caucus raised it and did extensive research. Response to our pre-bargaining survey showed that 49% of QUFA members thought the spread between the lowest and highest starting salaries was too high. There was an almost universal concern over this issue among people who identified themselves as having less than 10 years experience in the Humanities. QUFA acted.

Salaries of people in the Humanities at Queen's with less than 10 years of experience have been unusually low by Ontario standards. Why is this so? Because from 1990 until 2000 (an entire decade) the university allowed the floor salary to stagnate. Scale increases were not applied to the floor for eight years. The floor salary at Queen's was $38,800 in 1990, $40,000 in 1996, and it was $40,000 in early 2000.

In the spring of 2001, Queen's boosted the floor to $43,500. This spring, it has boosted it to $49,100 for tenure track appointments. This is roughly where the floor would have been if Queen's had not allowed it to stagnate during the 1990's. Queen's hired people at $39,000 in 1990, $40,000 in 1992, $40,000 in 1995 and, once again, $40,000 as late 1997. If the scale increases of the 1990s had been applied to the floor, as, in the past, they always were then a person who in fact started at $40k in 1997 would have started in the high $40's. QUFA's recent settlement addresses this problem.

One point of information for purposes of comparison with other constituencies within QUFA: the tuition support program, which generally benefits those in the age range of 48-60, is twice the amount of this junior boost. It is $400,000--the junior boost costs $200,000.

Queen's has simply aligned its junior faculty's salaries with those of other universities.

At York <www.yufa.org/pubs/fs5.html>, the floor was $46,000 from 1992 and is now just under $47,000. Their union is bargaining for $54,000. This is where it would be if York had not allowed it to stagnate since the early 1990s. The York settlement in 2001 raised the salary floors by 6%, but the general scale increase was only 2%. Why? Between 1992 and 1999, the floors had been frozen. Here is the York Faculty Association, from their website: "From 1992 to 1999 faculty salary floors were frozen (frozen at $46,000 opposed to $40,000 at Queen's). During that period, the floors fell far behind the actual starting salaries of most YUFA members.... The current floors are largely meaningless in that few appointments are made at this level. However, those that are, are anomalously low, resulting in time-consuming salary adjustment processes in the long term as well as creating morale problems...which affect...productivity and the university's reputation." York's goal today (they are finishing up bargaining) is to boost the assistant professor floor, and the associate and full floors (which exist at York but not here) and I quote, "to their 1992 real dollar values."

Waterloo's and Laurier's floors have been at $46-$47,000. Waterloo <www.uwfacass.uwaterloo.ca> just boosted the floor salary to $48,529, with adjustments for those just above the floor. A month ago, McMaster <www.mcmaster.ca/cgi-bin/bold/mufa/jcagreement-march4.html> boosted the floor to $49,861 (phased in over 2 years). Why? As the faculty association says on their website, "To maintain the integrity of this system {PTR}, adjustments have been made to the assistant professor floor that underpins it."

A Notification From The Transgender/Transsexual Policy Group

The Transgender/Transsexual Policy Group has been working to increase accessibility for transgendered students, staff and faculty at Queen's. The Human Rights Office established this group in September 1998, and membership includes representatives from student services, faculty and both undergraduate and graduate students. Over the past two years, this policy group has concentrated specifically on accessibility issues in the Queen's Residences and other campus services.

Transgender, trans, and trans-identified are terms used to describe people who bend or challenge 'traditional' gender norms (i.e. transsexuals, cross-dressers, etc.). Discrimination against transidentified people and those perceived to be trans is pervasive in society. At Queen's, the rights of transgendered people are protected under The Ontario Human Rights Code(s) and specifically protected under the Queen's Harassment/Discrimination Complaint Policy.

The focus of the TG/TS Policy Group for the upcoming year is an educational campaign that will include posters, flyers, articles in the campus media, and opportunities to talk with members of the University community on this issue. If you are interested in participating in the work of this group, if you would like further information about TG/TS issues, or if you would like to invite the TG/TS Policy Group for a discussion or educational session within your department or class, please contact Julie Darke, the Group's Coordinator, at the Human Rights Office (533-6886). Information about TG/TS issues can be found at the following website <www.queensu.ca/humanrights/TG_TS_Main.htm>. There are also some videos, books and documentaries available at the Human Rights Office to provide you with further information.

CAUT Requested QUFA to bring the Following Messages to the Attention of Members:

Resolution on the Middle East Conflicts on Academic Freedom

At its spring 2002 meeting, CAUT Council adopted the following motion:

Given that a responsibility of universities is to encourage education and free and open discussion of issues of local, national and international concern, particularly in this time of America's "war on terrorism" and the intense conflict in the Middle East, CAUT urges its members to promote informed debate, safeguard the right to do so, work towards peace and be vigilant to protect those who may be targeted by prejudices aroused or apparently licensed by these conflicts.

CAUT SERVICES:

Individuals who were eligible for membership in CAUT before retirement, are eligible for membership as CAUT retirees. Retired members may join CAUT as Retired Associate Members for an annual fee of $25. For this fee they receive a subscription to the CAUT Bulletin, and may join a number of group plans offered for Life Insurance, Personal Accident Insurance, Family Life Insurance, Professional Property Insurance, Group Home Insurance, Travel Insurance, and other financial services.

Retired members can also take advantage of discounted travel rates offered by Finlay Travel. Visit CAUT's website: <www.caut.ca>

RETIRE WEB:

Retire Web is a WWW site packed with financial planning information for Canadians of all ages to help them with all stages of retirement: saving for retirement, options at retirement and post retirement. For more information you e-mail them at <acppu@caut.ca> or visit their website at: <www.retireweb.com/index.html>

CAUT Contract Academic Staff Conference

And Justice For All: Resisting the Casualized Academy, the first CAUT Conference on Contract Academic Staff, was held on May 29, 2002 in Toronto. QUFA representatives and others from Queen's were in attendance.

The conference focused on the situation of Contract Academics. This is the CAUT term for all instructors not in the tenure stream. Panel discussions and workshops were complemented by a screening of the video A Simple Matter of Justice: Contingent Faculty Organize by Barbara Wolf. Participants in the conference included both tenure-stream and contract academics from Canada, as well as visitors from contract staff organizations in the United States.

The most important conclusion reached at the conference is that it is in the interest of all academics, both contract and tenure-stream, that everyone receive fair and equitable treatment. The alternative would be continuing increases in casualized labour at colleges and universities across North America.

The funding changes announced in the June 17th Budget reflect the success of OCUFA strategy over the past year. OCUFA spends a considerable amount of time highlighting issues of concern on behalf of faculty and academic librarians to politicians, legislators, journalists, and the general public. We were encouraged therefore, to hear the announcement of growth funding for the double cohort, along with the announcement of additional funding for northern universities.

OCUFA has worked hard to raise awareness of the double cohort issue in particular, along with faculty shortage, increasing student/faculty ratios, and unmet infrastructure demands overall. Polling was started late last summer and continued through the winter in key government ridings to gauge public opinion on the double cohort and other higher education issues. The poll results were consistent in their message of considerable anxiety among voters on the question of adequate preparedness by the government for the double cohort. Access and the cost of higher education were also of prime concern. OCUFA released the polls at media conferences in the ridings surveyed, and held town/hall meetings in the key areas, in tandem with lobbying workshops on the issues to help local associations deliver the message.

This was soon followed by the release of an OCUFA research report on funding for northern universities that drew widespread media coverage, especially in the northern regions of the province. With the full participation of the local associations at Algoma, Lakehead, Laurentian, and Nipissing the unique funding situation facing Ontario=s northern universities particularly in light of the pending double cohort, was clearly outlined in the report. It was heartening to note that the government in its Budget announcement allocated an extra $6 million for northern universities.

Coupled with many meetings with senior politicians and various Ministry officials, the hard work done by OCUFA and coalition partners appears to have helped edge the government toward the full funding announcement made this week. It is important however to put the new funding in context. As the OCUFA analysis of the Budget notes, the government has consistently underestimated enrolment increases in its projections. The 2001 Budget estimated an enrolment increase of 1.6 per cent for 2001. The actual increase was 3.9 per cent. It remains to be seen if another unanticipated increase in enrolment over the next few years will be fully funded. Moreover, the 2002 Budget continues to ignore the fact that 10 per cent of the student population currently in the university system is unfunded, which now represents a shortfall of $100 million annually. In order to adequately fund all students, not just new students, an additional $200 million would be required.

There is also nothing in the Budget that reverses the long-term deterioration in university funding. Provincial grants for universities in 2001/02 were more than $400 million below their 1995-96 level, after adjustment for inflation and enrolment growth.

And in the four years from 1998/99 through to 2002/03, the operating budget of the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities increased by 7.3 per cent. When inflation is taken into account, operating grants have decreased despite the increase in student population. Further information and analysis on the Ontario Budget is available by calling the OCUFA office at (416) 979-2117, by e-mail at or the web site at www.ocufa.on.ca

In the months ahead, you can be sure that OCUFA will continue to inform and educate politicians, Ministry officials, the media and the public on issues of concern to the province's university professors and academic librarians. And in the coming months, OCUFA will be working closely with the local associations on election preparation.
