The Association of Nova Scotia University Teachers (ANSUT) is calling on its 1,300 individual members and allies across the country to email or phone the Premier of Nova Scotia, the Minister of Advanced Education, and their MLA to demand that they stop Bill 12.

Bill 12 would give the province “unprecedented power to appoint [most] members to university Boards, dictate that research align only with government priorities, and provide unchecked authority to force universities into a revitalization process.”

“I encourage everyone with an interest in the PSE sector — from students and parents, to staff, administrators and faculty — to push back on this proposed bill, and make your concerns known to the Minister,” said ANSUT President Scott Stewart.
