Open letter from OFL President @waltonmom to @UofT President Meric Gertler: "If you move against the students, you’ll have to go through workers first." @occupyuoft @UofTsu @TheVarsity @utfaculty @cupe3902 @usw1998 @torontolabour @OCUFA @CAUT_ACPPU ofl.ca/ofl-open-lette…
STATEMENT: "The gov't is using a manufactured crisis as an excuse for increased ill-informed ministerial interference. This is not a path to stability for ON's colleges & universities, nor a path to prosperity..." #OSSTF joins the call for Ford to rethink Bill 166 #OnPSE #OnPoli
Alongside other faculty, staff, and students at universities and colleges across Ontario, we urge the province to take time to rethink its flawed post-secondary education bill, Bill 166. #ONPSE #ONpoli campuscoalition.org/post/bill-166/
Today, April 28th, is #NationalDayOfMourning. We must pause and reflect on those who have suffered injury, illness or worse while just going to work to do their job. And, we must never let our guard down for raising the need of safety and security for those in our workplaces.
Last week I rose to debate the Agriculture Research and Institute of Ontario Amendment act. This bill will bring agriculture research in Ontario into the 21st Century. Farmers make a vital contribution to our economy, and I'm glad to see the government support the research that strengthens agriculture in this province. I'll echo the OFA and urge the government to keep farmers involved every step of the way. And I urge the govt to provide the U of G with the funding they need to continue their outstanding research. #onpoli
MEDIA STATEMENT: Ford continues to fail struggling universities! "The Ford gov't had an important opportunity today to live up to their promise of prioritizing students & investing in ON’s future. They have failed on both accounts." #OSSTF President @karenosstf #OntEd #OnPoli
Colleges minister raised $24k from private college execs at meet and greet thetrillium.ca/news/education… @CUPEOntario
.@metromorning, the University of guelph will be presenting a plan to Senate in the coming months to partner with Navitas, an Australian for profit company that recruits and exploits international students. Employees and students are asking the university for our own plan to support international students, not one for profit. csaonline.ca/board
NEW: Internal provincial documents reveal that the Ford government was aware that colleges and universities had an “over-reliance” on overseas students as a way to make up for budget deficits. globalnews.ca/news/10249704/… #onpoli
Today, the #GuelphVibe is #NoToNavitas @GuelphToday @MercuryTribune @CBCKW891
MEDIA RELEASE: #OSSTF & @ETFOeducators stood before an arbitrator today to argue a fair remedy to Ford's disastrous #Bill124. “Our members have been waiting 4 long yrs to reclaim wages stolen by the Ford gov under the unlawful Bill 124" - President @karenosstf #OntEd #OnPoli
#NoToNavitas That’s it. That’s the tweet.
Next week’s Townhall “discussions” on privatizing Ontario post secondary education to exploit international students will start with a unified voice against it. This letter is signed by the president of the unions @UofG
NEW: Stagnant provincial funding and a years-long tuition freeze are “undermining” student success at post-secondary institutions, according to Ontario universities, which are pleading with the Ford government for more money in 2024. globalnews.ca/news/10213696/… #onpoli
"In 2021-22, #OntEd colleges received just under $7k in public funding per student (the lowest in Canada)... universities received about $11.5k... compared to nearly $21k in the rest of the country." Ford gov't continues to underfund public ed! #OSSTF thetrillium.ca/insider-news/e…
