Every year, contract academic staff teach thousands of students, & bring passion, expertise, & innovation to university classrooms. Nearly one-third of faculty appointments in Nova Scotia are on short-term contracts—but their impact is lasting. #MakeItFair #ANSUTstandswithCAS

Three weeks ago I started digging into Dalhousie's finances and ended up mostly with some hard questions. I have now spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to answer them.
If you wanted 8000 words assessing claims about one university's financial constraints, do I have a treat for you.
