Facial recognition technology (FRT) is a powerful tool for law enforcement, but it comes with many risks.

@ot_fssh researchers @andreaslane2 and @oconnorphd are working with @Venture_13 to develop ethical and legal guidelines for FRT use in policing. https://t.co/KUYmBPKi0a

Great to see this paper published!

Holding a book with your name on it for the very first time is quite the surreal feeling!

Very proud & honoured to be part of this work with @DrLauraHuey and @JennSchulenberg where we looked at the various ways in which people with mental illness come into contact with police.

[UOIT Faculty @UOITFA]

The @UOITFA and @ontariotech_u are pleased to advise that we have reached a tentative agreement.

A consequence of @ontariotech_u saying supervising graduate students ≠ teaching? @fssh grad directors predict faculty may not be able to supervise if it’s not part of teaching duties & grad programs could collapse @drstevenmurphy @lorilivingsto17 @OT_gradstudies #ONstrikeU

[UOIT Faculty @UOITFA]

Two years of pandemic stress. Being #overworked & undersupported. That’s not unique to OTU faculty.
But @ontariotech_u’s offer will worsen working conditions for SEVERAL years...long after the pandemic ends. That’s not a #FairDeal for us or our students #ONstrikeU #NotAboutPay

[UOIT Faculty @UOITFA]

A helpful thread on #Mediation ahead of this weekend. #ONstrikeU

[UOIT Faculty @UOITFA]

Oh the places we’ll go with a #FairDeal indeed! #ONstrikeU

[Chris O'Connor @oconnorphd]

Wishing @ontariotech_u and the @UOITFA good luck as they negotiate over the weekend. #ONstrikeU #fairdeal #mediation

I can't (can) believe the university declined to comment. I guess they also declined binding arbitration when it could have avoided a strike altogether too though, so I should have expected they'd have nothing to say now.
