Seems a good day to announce INCLUSIECON answering the question:How can researchers, policy practitioners, and civil society partners we transform Canada’s tax-and-transfer system into a more fair, inclusive, and effective foundation for reducing inequality and addressing complex “wicked problems”?

We are already hear about issues during interviews and how obvious it is someone is consulting for answers

6. AI glasses possibly concern me the most out of anything given they are most likely to be used for bad in both scenario 1 above and for their potential for violating privacy and for being used to trap instructors

5. We are indeed as instructors being given little to no help and how precisely to navigate this and TBH I do think it is hypocritical to just ban AI. But I also don’t know how exactly to balance it 🤷🏻‍♀️

3. While many think AI is just an issue in the humanities and social sciences, AI tools can also be used to load up your handwriting to solve math based assignments used in more technical courses.

4. Students are correct to shrug their shoulders since most of their course content is now AI powered

1. In person exams, touted as the solution, have begun to lead to a crap tonne of deferments that just lead to massive headaches for instructors, especially sessionals

2. Even in third year class sizes can be 150+ students with limited resources for marking help

Snort.

Finance Canada told CBC News that as part of a major federal government cost-cutting initiative, the CRA is reducing its budget by $235 million over three years. The department said that by streamlining operations, the agency will more than make up for the loss.

Last July, she won a 10-year battle with the agency to get her 13-year-old daughter approved for the disability tax credit (DTC), dating back to 2014.

Man, the perseverance!

When you're a 23-year-old making no money who finally got a foot in the door of your extremely competitive industry and really don't want to get screamed at or fired, your focus is on trying to get through the day.

The guy who is always available helps you do that.

But the new suffers for it.

Right

Please help me embarrass Ucalgary

He cancelled the census long form. He dismantled the women’s state. WTF are we celebrating

So I am one of the economist who harassed Harper to intervene with fiscal policy in the 2008 financial collapse. He literally didn’t give a flying fig

Exactly says a person in said department who is regularly embarrassed by her departments interpretation of economics

You betcha I’ll get an email for this. Also I don’t care.

Just wait for the coming tuition increases

Dear academic colleagues
Want to be humbled? Post a RA position for senior undergrad, MA students with coding and policy backgrounds. I dare you to qualify for the job at that level and yet I had more than a dozen qualified applicants

I’ll also note I am married to a man who has somehow never been accused of anything ever. So I shake my head at men who fear repercussions

In the heat of the #metoo movement i ppl i work with actually ask me, a boy mum, how I felt about the inequity of the movement. Men being publicly accused with no fair trial. I am now being asked similar questions about the Epstein dump. My answer is the same. No fear if you didn’t do anything ever
