"Ontario provides the lowest level of funding per pupil in Canada ... Ontarians should be completely invested in what's going on at the post-secondary level ... research shows that education systems that are strong also lead to a strong economy." #ONpoli

Thank you to @UofT for making your voice heard- Ford's plan to remove bike lanes costs money that is sorely needed elsewhere in our city and makes our communities less healthy and less safe.

Too many contract faculty have to reapply for their jobs every term and don’t know if they will be teaching semester-to-semester or year-to-year. #Fairness4CF #MakeItFair #CDNPSE ocufa.on.ca/fairness makeitfair.caut.ca
ALT #MAKEITFAIR for Contract Academic Staff. Workers on campuses across the province are fighting for fairness and job security, benefits, and equal pay for equal work.

"Steering" is the practice commonly used by academic administrators that aims to give "soft" directives in a way that the administration can plausibly deny *are* directives. It is fundamentally dishonest and undermines #collegialgovernance. 1/8
