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.”"

While the financial picture seems to be stabilizing at VIU in Nanaimo, it has been a very rough past 2 years. The worst in my 25 years. I have seen so many colleagues forced into retirement and others, sessionals just not be around.
In total just on the Faculty, IT, Librarian and Advisory forces alone, my union has lost close to 100 members.
The really really frustrating thing is faculty unions and others have warned administration and government for YEARS... Decades... that the over reliance on massive international student fees and enrolments was a huge risk.
The chicken is now officially home and roosting and it sucks. We are deeply hurting the ability of our young people to be successful. 😢
(Trades and Staff are in different Unions - BCGEU and CUPE respectively - from VIUFA faculty at VIU. They have suffered greatly too. BCGEU possibly a little less as a percentage, but CUPE, definitely more. )

only in Nanaimo at VIU can you count more than 10 tiny nearly identical bunnies in all of 10 minutes.
one new clutch of 5 perfectly black, tiny guys were munching grass in no more than a 10ft space just now. Multiple students were just standing quietly watching them like 🥹🥹🥹
this tiny fluffball was eating under the protection of a tree in the japanese garden this morning. there was a grey friend nearby.
truly a hard life for bunnies

🧵 Aviat es va evidenciar la necessitat d' #UnaAltraEsquerra, capaç de trencar les dinàmiques neoliberals que s’arrosseguen des de fa tant temps i sense por de transformar el poble en un lloc més #just, més #saludable i culturalment #viu.
Babord vam mobilitzar-nos activament contra criteris economicistes en la gestió de les escoles bressol o dels pisos de lloguer social, contra deixar anys el contracte de residus vençut, no fer res pel greu problema d’accés a l’habitatge i un llarg etcètera.

Solidarity to union members and students facing cuts at North Island College. VIU and NIC have a friendly rivalry, but more importantly, we each serve as access-focused post-secondary institutions for portions of Vancouver Island north of Victoria.
The list of program suspensions is long. And unfortunately includes some skills in my field… but they are generally... broad cuts. I've included the list below.
The #BCNDP Government seems perfectly ok with post-secondary institutions in BC going through the worst cuts in at least 25 years (my career) and I would dare say - ever.
Adventure Guiding Certificate.
Hospital Unit Clerk Certificate.
Bachelor of Business Administration – Marketing.
Global Business Management Post-Graduate Diploma.
Digital Design and Development Post-Graduate Certificate.

#Viu or #ViuPH updated their #RunningMan poster for 2026 and #JiYeEun is still missing (since 2025). Someone probably doesn't like Ji YeEun. 😡 You're excused in 2025, honest mistake. But still in 2026? Now that's different. (Note: 2024 was a different poster.)

amongst the various start-of-semester things to do today, I started a new backup 800gb of a Time Machine backup onto a HFS+ formatted disk image.
and also planted my "vegehome" with a fresh batch of little plant plugs. Look at their little plastic domes. 🥰
Once these lettuces and stuff run their course, I want to try something a little bigger... like maybe starting a little fruit tree.

25 years working in one place is actually crazy when you sit down and think about it, but I am very lucky to have been able to call Vancouver Island Univerity (nee-Malaspina U-C) my home away from home for this amount of time.
only 2216 days left to retirement but who's counting? 😆

Oh look, the #BCNDP Government finally noticed the Post-Secondary system is collapsing. *slowclap*
Can hardly wait for that report next spring... maybe I will still have a job by then...
PS: I have a crazy idea: perhaps post-secondary should be majority-funded by government, not by exploitative international tuitions that can just *disappear*)
PPS: Domestic enrolment is not declining in any significant kind of way in the sector. From the “State of Post Secondary Education in Canada 2025” by Alex Usher:
"This decline in per-student funding is therefore not primarily a result of a significant decline in total funding; rather, it is a result of expenditures remaining more or less
constant while enrollments increased.”WHICH IS WHAT EDUCATORS HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR DECADES

just registered for my continuing Spanish (200) class next semester.
The enrollment problems at VIU (and all across the sector) have made it difficult to fill these classes. The fall semester class didn't run because there were not enough students enrolled.
I really really hope it gets up to the number needed to run the course!
There always seems to be good uptake of the 100/101 classes but 200 is a struggle.

If anyone has a line on a free-or-near-free source of flatscreen LCD monitors with ATSC antenna connections, please do let me know. Would like to build a little ‘over-the-air’ TV monitoring studio.
These little LG 24LJ4540s are perfect.
Two dozen of them would be ideal but 12 would be a good start.

Nanaimo's Vancouver Island University women's basketball team won the provincial gold medal over their (transphobic) arch rivals Columbia Bible College (out of Abbotsford/Mission)
The tournament was supposed to be held at CBC but was taken away after the CBC coach and players transphobic threats/nonsense.
VIU has beat CBC all three times they played this year.
The VIU Men earned Silver.
