#SHAME @UofT!

[CUPE 3902 @cupe3902]

We were sent these by members of the UofT community who are tired of waiting for the University to act on sexual & gender violence on campus! Accountability now! @UofT

[Graduate Students Collective in Canada @GradStudentsCan]

@cupe3902 @UofT Shameful of #UofT. According to @imgrund's tweet (https://t.co/TvGwQbMigO) there's a 10.7% chance that someone in that room is positive. Why no distancing? It's not like there are empty rooms on campus...

Hey @UofT Administration!

MASSIVE difference between:

Western’s *requirement* that people on campus provide proof of vaccination or get tested 2x/week
VS
@UofT ‘requirement’ that people self-declare whether they are vaccinated & then get tested if they checked the ‘not’ box

[UofT Flying Squad @UofTFlyingSquad]

UofT protects predators. Students in solidarity with survivors of sexual violence in the Faculty of Music have set up a Clothesline of statements and stories from survivors and allies on Philospher's Walk after an open letter condemning UofTs complicity circulated widely

Dear that?! @utm @UTSC @UofTSGS

[CREW - Caucus of Rank and File Education Workers @CREWUofT]

The @uoft is Canada’s richest, largest Uni, and it expands this power at the expense of its most precarious workers. Unit 1 of @cupe3902 voted 90% for a strike mandate, we want to see fair hiring criteria and pandemic-related improvements! #uoft #weareuoft #boundless #trueblue

[CUPE 3902 @cupe3902]

A first in a series of posts over the coming days, as we talk about strike mandates. #canlab #onlab #onpse #canpse #weareuoft

[CUPE 3902 @cupe3902]

Wishing Unit 1's bargaining team luck as they head to their third day at the table with the UofT. Our team is looking forward to exchanging topical agendas with the University! #onpse #onlab

Hey @uoft education workers! Time to brush up on your geography! How far are you from campus? According to a new university policy, that might matter for your ability to work in September. More to follow.

Any #university students from #Toronto that can help @RebeccaTee???

[Rebecca Tucker @RebeccaTee]

ANOTHER SOURCE REQUEST: I’m still looking for post-secondary students in Toronto whose school year has been disrupted by COVID. [email protected]!

[Rawan Abdelbaki | فلسطين حرة @rawanbaki]

It’s ‘interesting’ that years of neoliberalization & subsequent commodification & adjunctification of #higherEd coincided w/ the entry of non-white students into the academy...& here were are, graduating ‘diverse’ undergrad & grad students, w/ debt & precarious jobs in the end...

"The corporatization of universities has made matters worse, as students are seemingly further deprioritized beneath prestige and financial success." @readpassage

Hear hear

[David Fisman @DFisman]

I’m going to circle back and reiterate: it makes no sense to offer university classes in person when offering the same course for the same credit online.

That’s just foolish.
