  1. I guess it's "Public Education" be damned.

    "Don Avison, a former deputy minister of education and former board chair for Emily Carr University, has been tasked with suggesting fixes that don’t rely on additional provincial funding."
    ---

    me: Students, Insitituions, and previous NDP government reviews have been warning about this for years.

    ----

    "Freedom of Information requests obtained by student advocates showed that Wright was warning the province as early as 2023 about the dangers of colleges and universities relying on international student tuition — and that further increasing international enrolment wouldn’t solve financial issues."

    "In its submission to Avison, the Federation of Post-Secondary Educators said the undermining of B.C.’s resource economy by U.S. tariffs makes having a robust system of post-secondary education outside the Lower Mainland even more vital.

    It said public post-secondary institutions are “widening access, stabilizing households, and giving people the tools to stand on their own two feet.”"

  11. 4/x Fund the Freedom to Learn

    "A plaque in the atrium of the Arts and Administration building on MUN’s St. John’s campus reminds us that our university was created as a living tribute to the enormous sacrifices made by the people of Newfoundland and Labrador on the battlefields of Europe: “In the freedom of learning their cause and sacrifice might not be forgotten.”

    This legacy is a moving testament to the desire of the people of this province to build something of beauty and meaning that helps us all live better together now and in the future of this place."

  16. 2/x The cuts at our university are happening despite the university repeatedly showing that for every $1 of public money put into it, $2 - 4 come out into the broader economy. This tells us that the arguments for cuts are based on 'something' other than evidence.

  21. 1/x For more than a decade, our provincial government has been defunding our university. Now, contract faculty positions are being cut, class sizes are increasing, while students' tuition has increased 2x-4x over the last 2-3 years.

  26. Disabled Dreaming

    I’m happy to share that I’ve had two pieces published in Disabled Dreaming: Seeking a Future of Proactive Accessibility in Teaching & Learning, the second issue of the Dis/Orientation zine published by McMaster University. You can read them through the links below.

    Dreaming Through the Cracks is an essay about the generative potential of neglect as a catalyst for dreaming and constructing more care-full and relational worlds, grounded in collective access.

    Intake is a poem about the disempowering ways medical, mental health, and accommodation systems transform personal stories into institutional narratives, stripping humanity and relationality in the process.

    Overview While the State of Iowa may often be overlooked in national discussions, especially as the State is part of the quintessential “flyover country” that represents much of the American Midwest and greater interior region, the State is actually home to three (3) distinct public universities, namely the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa State University in Ames, and the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls.
