What is MAUT?

MAUT is a voluntary and democratic association that has been the voice of McGill University's Academic Staff since 1951.  Unlike the majority of Canadian faculty associations, MAUT is not a union requiring you to pay dues.  We are an association dedicated to collegial behavior at all levels of the university.

  • Working conditions that are conducive to teaching, research and other pursuits of McGill Academic Staff

What We Do
