Nearly 1000 DFA members will be put to the picket lines tmr 930 am by @DalhousieU. A first for Canada's research intensive universities. Reckless move by the Board - jeopardizing the fall term, ruining relations with faculty for years. Join the picket lines to #keepdalstrong
@reggcohn Excellent column, just a note to not forget the massive $670M OSAP funding cuts that happened the same year as the tuition cuts: @OCUFA https://t.co/7NLY3Ik2mf, more than saved by students. @CFSON says this has continued https://t.co/tm8dqPwznZ and https://t.co/jsNTfpYDlV

Wrote this piece on the significance of the York cuts:
'In a democratic society a university is not a “business” that sells degrees. It can serve as a bulwark against disinformation and against manipulation of the population by powerful interests.' @OCUFA@CAUT_ACPPU@YUFAyorku

Doug Ford’s hand-picked candidate for Sault Ste. Marie oversaw the financial collapse of Laurentian University from his senior position at the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. #OnPoli
