About USSWORD:
The University is intended to serve all of society; special corporate and government interests should not be allowed to influence the research agenda and teaching conducted at the University. Unfortunately, in recent years the reduction in support from federal and provincial governments has allowed the University to become beholden to corporate funding. USSWORD is extremely concerned about this trend and the impact it continues to have on the University.

We welcome your participation in our movement to effect meaningful change towards democratic accountability at the University. Your support is extremely important if we are to reverse the extent of corporate influence on University research and teaching.
