So used to picketing in the morning that I guess I’ll have to go on a walk with the dogs now. Gotta keep getting those steps in!

I am fascinated by this guy who was a Higher Ed administrator and has now moved into teaching classes as a faculty member. He is documenting his whole journey on TikTok. Over the summer, he had so much excitement 🧵

Picketing with and for her so she has a chance to have profs with job stability. When you have a stable job, you can focus on your students and courses, instead of worrying if you will be employed next year. #KeepDalStrong

Uniforum (Nous Group) has been at Dal since 2022 and they've likely been advising senior administration on creating the crisis narrative since then. Read these articles: circles.eduvation.ca/posts/inviti... and nationalpost.com/feature/how-...

Why has the Dalhousie Board @dalhousieu.bsky.social been using such strange and disrespectful tactics in this labour dispute @dalfaculty.bsky.social ? Is the playbook coming from Nous Group, the consulting company that brought us "Uniforum" and presides over cost-cutting at universities worldwide?

Nearing 1 week of being locked out by the powers that be at Dalhousie. Confused and frustrated to have heard absolutely nothing from the administration, while hearing stories of the negative effects this is having on my colleagues and students, but determination levels are high on the picket lines!

Silver lining of the Dalhousie lockout: I rented a resonator guitar at LongMcQuade at the beginning of the lockout and I’m at day 5 of learning how to play, sitting on my porch with my dogs. I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy learning an instrument, but love it! Can’t wait to be able to slide!

This article resonates. I feel terrible for my students whose education is disrupted yet again, this time through the (in)actions of @dalhousie.bsky.social senior admin who have not returned to bargaining with @dalfaculty.bsky.social. We want to support our students - let us! #KeepDalStrong
