Breathtaking mismanagement at the University of Guelph leaves 1300 new students who were promised residence, without a place to live. Those responsible should be given the boot. We’ve been documenting the relationship between the affordable housing crisis and Universities increasing enrolment in the absence of new housing for over two years now. This is just wilful neglect or deep ignorance at this point. It will deepen the housing crisis in Guelph for those most vulnerable to homelessness. Housing is a system. Parents from other elsewhere will now fight tooth and nail - and will spend what they need to spend - to access housing for their kids (as they should - what else are they going to do?). Those in Guelph on a fixed income, or vulnerable to homelessness, become more vulnerable when supply is tightened so dramatically. This terrible mismanagement will reverberate throughout this small city, and in the lives of those most vulnerable. https://t.co/d08qtfLcUC

The report to the Board of Governors on June 19, discusses a ‘bold’ plan to expand enrolment Despite already implementing parts of it, faculty and departmental staff were left out of it As a senator at UofG, I find it unacceptable that this plan wasn't mentioned at our June 3 Senate meeting, let alone discussed for approval. How can we have collegial governance if we don’t know the plan? This opacity goes against the social contract we expect from our leadership #UniversityIssues #HigherEd Link: https://t.co/1nDzZjiQdu
