UWFA News - September 2009

We’ve just posted the most recent issue of the UWFA News. In this issue, you’ll find articles on everything from Salem Bland’s academic freedom issue in 1917 to the current University budget issues. Also, we’ve republished the report of the President to the Annual General Meeting. For the charts relating to Michael Hohner’s Library piece, see below.

You’ll also find posted below the UWFA Scholarship and Bursary Fund Donation form. More information in this program is in this issue of the UWFA News. We strongly encourage all of our members to donate.

You may notice that there is a word missing from the end of the article “UW Faculty and their Student Loans”. The article should end on the next line, and the missing word is ‘worry’.

Comments, questions and submissions to the next UWFA News can be sent to uwfa@uwinnipeg.ca. The next issue of the UWFA News is scheduled to come out in September.
