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.

“Hardly a man in the world has an opinion upon morals, politics or religion which he got otherwise than through his associations and sympathies. Broadly speaking, there are none but corn-pone opinions. And broadly speaking, Corn-Pone stands for Self- Approval. Self-approval is acquired mainly from the approval of other people. The result is Conformity.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
