CUPE submitted Freedom of Information requests to all 78 publicly-funded universities in Canada asking for data on faculty, broken down by employment status, for the academic years 2006-07 through 2016-17.
The results have been compiled in this database, which CUPE is making available to researchers, activists, and local unions for their own research projects.
