flag U of T mandates full-time in-person work for staff starting Jan 2026, sparking concerns over authority and accommodations.

flag The University of Toronto will require administrative staff to return to full-time in-person work starting January 2026 across its campuses, citing the need for in-person collaboration and campus community engagement. flag President Melanie Woodin emphasized the importance of consistent on-campus presence for academic vitality. flag The move, however, has sparked concern among staff and union leaders, who note the collective agreement remains in effect until June 2026 and question the university’s authority to implement the change unilaterally. flag Employees are uncertain about exceptions, workspace availability, and the policy’s impact on those with caregiving responsibilities or long commutes. flag While the university says alternative arrangements may still be considered, details on implementation and support remain limited.
