Queen's Students vs Cuts

Students of Queen’s University concerned about changes proposed to cut classes, alter our majors, and degrade the quality of our education.

[The Queen's Journal @queensjournal]

EDITORIALS: With the constant barrage of headlines and bumbling public interviews with top administration, it would be easy to think Queen’s is careening to the bottom of rankings because of its budget crisis.

(1/2) #queensuniversity has hired the Nous Group, architects of “restructuring” at #laurentian and #universityofalberta to consult on their budget cuts. What next, we wonder?

[Queen's Students vs Cuts @queensusvc]

Letter to #queensu staff and faculty, confirming the university is facing a rough year - and announcing the hiring of the Nous Group for an external review. Yes, that’s the Nous group who were involved at Laurentian. We are deeply, deeply concerned.
