As we plan for the rest of the term post-strike, many folks are facing a LOT of marking.
Should your department/faculty be hiring more TAs to support us all?
Are they doing so?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Are you committee-d out? If you wanted to serve on senate or a senate committee, what would make that possible for you? Teaching remission? Raise? Lab manager? Marking support for your classes?
One approach is through existing structures. If this is where your skills and interests lie, please consider joining a senate committee or becoming a senator! You can see where there are vacancies by clicking on the various committees here: https://t.co/qfqyiOovSb 2/3

A lot of our students are expressing interest in collegial governance at Memorial this month, and ways you, as students, can get more involved in your faculty or university. We've created a page to help you get more involved, if you're interested: https://t.co/kvo1uN5Ohf
Meet one of the @GSUMUN@MUNLSenators!
(Shamelessly piggy-backing on someone else's tweet. But as they say, we're all in this together! Or at least @MemorialSatire says so.)
Higher Ed Leadership Tip. If you’re contemplating adding another senior admin position, ask who this is going to benefit? Who most needs the support in the organization? Often you’ll conclude that adding more staff or faculty support is better use of the budget.#missionacademic
General announcement to MUNFA members: Your Executive wishes to reiterate MUNFA's official position on academic amnesty: we supported @MUNSU35's demands in Senate earlier this week, and as a union we are committed to providing both academic amnesty and support to students as +
@john_harris18@MUNLSenators@tsperry@MemorialU do learn more about Robert's Rules, but you are right that they can weaponize! though they were created to provide voice to all, their complexity creates barriers, no matter how familiar one is with them. We would do well to consider using circle processes with a talking piece
