Layoffs are impacting every unit on campus this week, and every week hereafter. The people who led us to this point are smiling for photos at great expense—money that could put food on dinner tables if people hadn’t been shown the door. Drop the tongs and go teach some students.
A #queensu summer tradition, the Office of the Principal hosted the Summer BBQ on July 4, for staff and faculty. Close to 2,000 attended and a donation bin was filled with non-perishable food items for the @amsfoodbank. Thanks to organizers, @queensfood, and @facilitiesqu.
"Memorial University fully supports the right of people to advocate for change and engage in peaceful protest. [...] We expect protesters to respect [UofT v Doe et al] and to end the occupation of the Arts and Administration building and the encampment on the St. John’s campus."

@socijosh Students loved the Queer criminology course offering recently added to our roster, too! It was a seminar, capped at 25.
Would you mind sharing the syllabus? It would be interesting to see the differences in approaches, and similarities.
So here we are. The 'immanent closure' talked about in the student press isn't going to happen, but how was anyone to know that, given the messaging on the issue? This PR problem is compounding financial stressors across the sector, where we hopefully can turn our attention soon
What a PR mess. #QueensU isn't going to close. All Ontario schools are facing similar pressures--yet we're in the news. Why? The university ignored students, who reacted accordingly. The admin was standoffish at the Dec town hall, with expected results.

The budget pressures are shared, but the management of this issue was not handled well. People felt ignored, then were told they would experience cuts, despite having no control over the budget before or now. In the absence of a dialogue, they used what information they had.
