In 2016-2017 the MB gov contributed ~13k per FTE (full time equivalent) student, while SK contribute ~15.5k per FTE student

Since 2002 (up to 2017) there has been a -5% decrease in Provincial finding per FTE in MB, compared to a 10.6% increase in SK

Not to mention annual tuition increases, meaning students pay more and the gov. is contributing less #mbpoli #cdnpoli #umfa2021 @supportingumfa (4/4)

At what point does the University of Manitoba need to reimburse tuition to students? Asking as a parent. I bet paying @UMFA_FAUM a fair deal would be way less expensive.

@supportingumfa @UMFA_FAUM After 5 weeks of striking, this hit me deep down. Thank you @supportingumfa for the constant solidarity throughout. This means more than you know!

Feeling hopeful…no Friday bomb from Admin!! 🙏🏻

[Miriam Unruh @mkunruh]

I'm not biased and I agree! #umfa2021

[Isabelle Kirouac Massicotte @IsabelleKirouac]

We have come to dread Fridays. Let's hope that the @umanitoba admin won't present their response to our proposal in a misleading way this time.

@baconlarue Thank you Mark for your bargaining efforts. I know how hard it is but as a fellow @UMFA_FAUM member, I am truly grateful! #umfastrong

Students rule! #umfaSTRONG @supportingumfa

[Dr. Jonathan Marotta @Percept_Action]

Our students know @UMFA_FAUM is fighting for the future of @umanitoba. #umfaSTRONG #umfa2021

[Dr. Trisha Scribbans @TrishaScribbans]

It's really important that everyone understands that the #umfa2021 strike is about SO much more than salaries. There is a systematic issue with the austerity that our provincial government is implementing to (de)value higher education. #mbpoli 🧵(1/4) #umfastrike #cdnpoli

Thank you to these colleagues who made today’s winds at UC North a little more bearable! #umfaSTRONG #umfastrike

[KPenn @katpenner]

Many thanks for joining us today, @CAUT_ACPPU flying pickets! #umfaSTRONG

[Dr. Trisha Scribbans @TrishaScribbans]

The @umanitoba decides to do the first reasonable thing that I have witnessed since the #umfa2021 strike began...students who have unexpected expenses as a direct result of the strike can apply to the UM Strike Relief Fund. @MyUMSU @supportingumfa #mbpoli #cdnpoli 🧵(1/4)
