This comparative study analyzes the collective agreements and policies of librarians affiliated with universities that are part of the U15 group of Canadian research universities. The authors identify seven components of the academic status model that are recommended in the guidelines of national organizations in Canada and analyze each of them. The objective of the study is to compare the roles, rights, and responsibilities of librarians who are members of the U15, of which Université Laval is a part. The results of the analysis highlight similarities between the roles and functions of librarians at Université Laval and other members of the U15 but also disparities concerning their rights and working conditions. This situation raises a question of equity among academic librarians in Canada.
