Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty Association Overview

The Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty Association (WLUFA) represents both full-time and part-time faculty and professional librarians. Established in 1988 for full-time members and 2001 for part-time members, WLUFA negotiates collective agreements, addresses member grievances, and supports faculty development, including tenure workshops. Members benefit from participating in general meetings and executive roles, while also focusing on equity, health, and safety within the university community. Accessible collective agreements and member support services are available through their official website.
