The Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA) is a Canadian non-profit organization that represents 16,000 teachers, researchers, and librarians through its interaction with the Ontario government, opposition parties, related agencies, and associations. OCUFA also allows its twenty-six member faculty associations to coordinate media relations and research for collective bargaining. OCUFA also publishes Academic Matters, a quarterly journal that covers higher education topics across Canada, and a monthly electronic newsletter, Ontario University Report, with specific content for Ontario members. OCUFA maintains a separate website for advocacy entitled Quality Matters and provides members with a discount program named Edvantage.

Famous quotes containing the words university, faculty and/or associations:
“The university must be retrospective. The gale that gives direction to the vanes on all its towers blows out of antiquity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Truth is his inspirer, and earnestness the polisher of his sentences. He could afford to lose his Sharp’s rifles, while he retained his faculty of speech,—a Sharp’s rifle of infinitely surer and longer range.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Writing prejudicial, off-putting reviews is a precise exercise in applied black magic. The reviewer can draw free- floating disagreeable associations to a book by implying that the book is completely unimportant without saying exactly why, and carefully avoiding any clear images that could capture the reader’s full attention.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
