The Role
of QUSA
The relationship between
QUSA and the University is based upon goodwill, mutual respect, commonality
of interest, and common sense. QUSA is the employee organization which
represents its members and advances the interests of general staff,
including research contract staff, not covered by any collective bargaining unit
or other memoranda of understanding with the University.
Queen's University will consult
QUSA on policy decisions with respect to compensations, conditions of
employment, and the working environment as outlined in the Memorandum
of Understanding. This consultative process includes all areas that
impact the general staff as defined above. The University also includes
membership from QUSA on formal or standing committees and other task
groups as may be mutually agreed upon. QUSA relies on ready and informal
access to the Principal and senior administrators as well as representation
on the formal committee structures of the University.

The
QUSA Bursary Fund
The QUSA Bursary
was established in November of 1978. Originally, funds for the
bursary were taken annually from membership fees to a maximum
of $250.00, and later increased to $500.00 per annum. In
1999, as part of the Queen’s capital campaign, an endowment
fund was established to receive donations to the QUSA bursary
fund. These donations were matched by the University. The
amount of the bursary is now determined by the interest accrued
in the fund over the course of the year and is presently awarding
approximately $1,000 per annum.
The terms
of the bursary are:
"Awarded
on the basis of merit and need to an upper-year student at Queen's
University who is a dependent of a member of the Queen's University
Staff Association in good standing". The fund
is administered through the Student Awards office of the Registrar.
Eligible students can apply by using the online General Bursary
