If you had a conspiracy theory that #McGill executives hate the McGill community and are excited by every possible way to make them suffer: their communicating last minute that Convocation will be in a smelly gym and limited to two family members (at $25 each) would fit with that theory.

For COL-adj. salary and benefits, @mcgill.ca is perhaps THE worst major Canadian univ. for Assoc. Profs, Asst. Profs, and Faculty Lecturers, to work at. (It is just OK for Full Profs.) MAUT's recent report is devastating and ought to spur more faculties to unionize. drive.google.com/file/d/1Z1kv...

I've said this many times before. Conservative reactions to "wokism" in the name of academic freedom are rarely principled.
I want to just name that the CAQ pushed for higher ed to have explicit "academic freedom policies" a few years back because of some instructors wanting to use the n-word more without university interference, and then we have...this.

For the company’s blatant illegal behaviour in Quebec. And because it’s American.

#McGill needs to cut $45 mill and is eying the ranks of teaching and support staff. How about looking at executive salary blow out?
Hmm, where might #McGill get $45 million from?

I've liked Bsky so far as a user. But, though I'm new here and trying to build a following, it seems to be a steep climb. Radio silence to most of my posts, probably because they're not shown to anyone. Probably this one too. Sigh. Hope it changes or it will be hard to keep engaging here.

McGill University is planning cost cuts and layoffs to address a projected $45-million deficit next fiscal year, which it blames partly on new Quebec government policies.
