Fascist government elected in my home city and I'm grading papers written by robots. Not how I would have imagined my answer to the question, "what is to be done."

This is the exact opposite of what literally everyone I know working at Concordia has said. But, y'know, "revenue sharing."

Alex Usher@alexusherhesa.bsky.social · last mo.

I have been very impressed by some of the moves Concordia has been making to deal with its budget challenges. The right response isn't cuts: it's shared understanding, revenue-sharing and, above all, getting the university out of its own way. Rapid collegiality in action. More like this, please.

What is the UNB GSA for, if not to stand up for graduate students?

NB Media Co-op / Coop Média NB@nbmediacoop.bsky.social · 2mo ago

The Canadian Federation of Students has called on Ottawa to issue study permits to Palestinian grad students, and to use diplomatic leverage to evacuate them from the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, UNB GSA has refused to comment, even though two prospective UNB grad students are among those trapped in Gaza.

Hot take: the mass mobilizations around Parc Jarry are a product of white gentrification. (Not that the tennis stadium should expand. But the photos from the event should come with sunglasses. Blinded by the white).

A shameless exercise in falsification. The #Zionist organizations are able to have this kind of impact because the Canadian political establishment shares their objectives. #Antisemitism

This just-released Canada Heritage survey is a stunning piece of anti-Palestinian propaganda weaponized vs. critics of the genocide at universities. It is a reprisal against the encampment movement. Look at the evidence of ‘antisemitism’: a prof calling Israel a Zionist project—as it attests to be.

Haha Tristin Hopper. One of Canada's worst journalists, and that's saying something.

David Gordon Koch@davidgordonkoch.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Tristin Hopper wrote that Prof. Houlahan had "spent weeks... ignoring an eviction order to maintain a 'Free Gaza' encampment on university property." In fact there was no "eviction order" - campus security had issued a trespass notice, which the faculty union successfully grieved.
