Who we are
MAUT | APBM听is an organization of academic staff formed in 1951 to foster academic freedom, to involve the faculty in university activities and governance, and to improve the working conditions and salaries of teaching faculty and librarians.

We听function within the collegial framework of academic life at 捆绑SM社区. Over the years we have consistently worked to improve the academic regulations and university policies dealing with employment practices, codes of conduct, salary and benefits. We are also members of provincial and national federations of university teachers, maintaining and enhancing educational standards and funding for higher education throughout all of Canada.
How we function
MAUT |听APBM is governed by an Executive Committee of seven elected Officers, and a Council made up of 13-16 elected members plus the members of the Executive Committee, all of whom work on a volunteer basis. Our paid office staff consists of an Administrative &听Membership Engagement Officer and a Professional &听Legal Officer.听 听听
An active group of MAUT |听APBM committees deals with many aspects of university life, and we have official representation on most major university committees, including the Committee on Academic Staff Compensation, the University Staff Benefits Advisory Committee, and the Grievance and Appeals Committee.
Experienced MAUT |听APBM members also serve as academic advisors, as needed, when a colleague requires help.
Our activities
In addition to the scheduled meetings of MAUT |听APBM Executive, Council and Committees, the Executive meets with the University Principal frequently throughout the year, and with other senior administrative officers as the need arises. We also host a meeting of elected academic Senators before each meeting of Senate, so that everyone can be fully informed about the agenda.
MAUT holds its Annual General Meeting every spring for all members, plus at least one special conference or retreat on a topic of current relevance. Regular communication with our members is also maintained through the MAUT |听APBM Newsletter and by email.
