hmm.. I wonder what they will find when UofG gets audited 🤔

[OCUFA @OCUFA]

Extensive capital expenses and increasing senior administrative positions by 37% in 5 years at @YorkUniversity are an increasing drain on university finances: Auditor General annual report https://t.co/XVY251ZIGH

[Dr Sho Jacobs 🇨🇦 @shoshanahjacobs]

Increasing tuition is what #HigherEd Administrators want. It will increase whiteness & abled-ness of the student population, while they remain closely tied to the economic interests of politicians.

Stop downloading the cost of education on students!

@shoshanahjacobs @permallica @uofg @studentfoodbank @UofGStudentExp @sustainableUofG Yes, and there is (one of) the problem(s). Refusal to adequately support existing infrastructure to build shiny new things that may or may not work as intended will eventually have catastrophic consequences

The fact that UofG is asking students to come up with ways to address food insecurity without providing any financial assistance to the existing infrastructure of the student foodbank is embarassing. They sure aren't doing a good job feeding grad students for "a food university"

Today the @JustinTrudeau government tabled their response to our @OurCommons petition calling for increased funding for MSc, PhD & PDF scholars, sponsored by @iamIqraKhalid. Read @FP_Champagne's response: https://t.co/SG5mVYzasM. We'll be watching 👀 Time to #SupportOurScience

Canadian grad students & post-docs are getting paid under 30K & 50K, respectively. @JustinTrudeau @cafreeland how is this enough for a living in Canada? Researchers in Canada are undervalued & underpaid. #SoSAdvocacyWeek23 #SupportOurScience

[CUPE 3913 @Gryphons3913]

Join us tomorrow with @UofGGC and @UoGGSA 💚

Toronto/GTA scientists,

If I can get 10 volunteers, there are ~11 more GTA 🇨🇦 MPs that we could reach about the need to increase grad student and postdoc pay: https://t.co/CWp2L0lvZ3
