The Faculty Association would like to remind our members of the “Letter of Understanding: Recognition of Graduate Student Supervision” in the Collective Agreement. When graduate students are hired under Article 23.2 L) (to provide teaching experience for a registered graduate student subject to 23.4) of the Collective Agreement, the intent is to provide the student with instructor experience and as such, the expectation is that the student is supervised by a regular academic staff member. The intent of this LOU is to ensure that this supervision is recognized as workload.
