Very little attention, however, has been paid to administrative, physical plant, and other operational staff employed within universities and colleges. Using data from a study of University of Regina students and employees, academic and support staff, this paper confronts the broader conditions of labour around the ivory tower. Employment at a post-secondary institution is analyzed through the lens of living wage research advanced by the Canadian Centre of Policy Alternatives (CCPA) (Ivanova & Klein, 2015). The study reframes the notion of a living wage in a post-secondary institution to include work-life balance, job security, and the realities of dignity and respect in the university workplace.  \nRésumé  \nDepuis les années 1980, la recherche sur les conditions d’emploi dans les établissements postsecondaires a porté sur l’accroissement du nombre de travailleurs et travailleuses universitaires occasionnels ou de ceux que le Conseil ontariendelaqualité del’enseignementsupérieur (COQES) a qualifiésd’« enseignants non à temps plein » (Field, Jones, Stephenson, & Khoyetsyan, 2014). Trèspeu d’attention a, toutefois, été accordée au personnel des services administratifs, du service des bâtiments et terrains et autres employésopérationnels dans les universités et collèges. S’appuyant sur les données d’une étude des étudiants et des employés, du personnel enseignant et desoutien de l’Université de Regina, l’article confronte les conditions générales de travail dans la tour d’ivoire. Il analyse l’emploi dans un établissement postsecondaire dans l’optique de la recherche sur le salaire vital avancée par le Centre canadien de politiques alternatives (CCPA) (Ivanova & Klein,  \nCJHE / RCES Volume 48, No. 1, 2018  \nWorking for a Living Wage / A. Stevens 23  \n2015) . L’étude reformule la notion de salaire vital dans un établissement postsecondaire pour inclure l’équilibre travail-vie personnelle, la garantied’emploi et les réalités de la dignité et du respect au milieu universitaire.  \nIntroduction  \nSince the 1980s, research on employment conditions in post-secondary institutions has focused on the growth of contingent academic workers, or what the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario (HEQCO) has labelled “non-full-time instructors”(Field, Jones, Stephenson, & Khoyetsyan, 2014) . Corporatization, commodification, and the explosion in number of post-secondary managers have received equally impressive coverage in the academic literature (Noble, 2002; Polster & Newson, 2015). Very little attention, however, has been paid to administrative, physical plant, and other operational support staff employed within universities and colleges. Indeed, their marginalization is twofold.  \nFirst, with the exception of senior managers, staff are typically excluded from collegial governance processes. As interview participants insisted, their marginalization is also a symptom of the perception that the function they serve is one of secondary support rather than advancing the core academic mission of the institution. With rare exception, this exclusion is maintained in the literature even as “non-academic”workforces are impacted by the neo-liberalization of post-secondary education through budget cuts and layoffs. As Isabelle Losinger (2016) writes,“University staff is often an afterthought, or more practically speaking, a non-thought”(p. 154) . Here, Losinger laments that staff are characterized as the “non-non” and defined by what th","cbCaieIOUP1OsZHb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieIOUP1OsZHb","pdf",266780,17,"English","# Introduction\n## Research focus and problem statement\n## Marginalization of non-academic staff\n## Analytical framework and living wage lens","[{\"question\":\"What main labor group does the paper focus on beyond academic workers?\",\"answer\":\"It examines administrative, physical plant, and other operational support staff employed in universities and colleges.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper analyze employment conditions at a post-secondary institution?\",\"answer\":\"It uses living wage research advanced by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives as the benchmark.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the paper include in its definition of a living wage for the university workplace?\",\"answer\":\"It extends the idea of living wage to incorporate work-life balance, job security, and the realities of dignity and respect.\"}]","Working for a Living Wage Around the Ivory Tower - Article | PDF",1792083670,43]
