hmm.. I wonder what they will find when UofG gets audited 🤔

Extensive capital expenses and increasing senior administrative positions by 37% in 5 years at @YorkUniversity are an increasing drain on university finances: Auditor General annual report thestar.com/politics/provinc…

York University must address rising debt and low program enrolment, audit finds

The university has a $600-million debt, and six of 10 of its faculties are operating at a yearly loss, Ontario's auditor general found.

Increasing tuition is what #HigherEd Administrators want. It will increase whiteness & abled-ness of the student population, while they remain closely tied to the economic interests of politicians. Stop downloading the cost of education on students! cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/o…

End post-secondary tuition freeze, Ontario expert panel urges | CBC News

Ontario should end its post-secondary tuition freeze and increase per-student funding to its universities and colleges, a government-commissioned report has found.

The fact that UofG is asking students to come up with ways to address food insecurity without providing any financial assistance to the existing infrastructure of the student foodbank is embarassing. They sure aren't doing a good job feeding grad students for "a food university"

Canadian grad students & post-docs are getting paid under 30K & 50K, respectively. @JustinTrudeau @cafreeland how is this enough for a living in Canada? Researchers in Canada are undervalued & underpaid. #SoSAdvocacyWeek23 #SupportOurScience

1/3 We want to demonstrate that Canadian funding is NOT ENOUGH. Vote on these polls so we can show that we are in need of funding changes coast to coast. If you are a Canadian 🇨🇦 Master’s student what is your stipend before tuition costs? #SosAdvocacyWeek23

Are you a grad student at UofG and already feeling overwhelmed or burned out? 🫠 Confused about identifying both as a student and as an employed teaching assistant? Feeling like you need mental health supports but don't know what services are offered on campus? 1/4
