Sep 2024: Opinion: Grand chief of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs fought for others until her last...

In Indigenous communities, one of the primary ways an ogimaa — a chief or leader of the people — is evaluated is by asking the question: who eats last?

SMU used to embrace collegial governance. Increased insistence on secrecy, policing policies and legal expenditures clearly illustrates the erosion of what used to be a nice place to work. What happened? It wasn't SMUFU becoming belligerent. We've always been here. @CAUT_ACPPU
Image with text reading: In the aftermath of Laurentian University’s file for CCAA protection (otherwise known as bankruptcy), the Auditor General of Ontario undertook a detailed analysis and investigation and found that Laurentian’s Board of Governors was ‘ineffectual’ and ‘lacked key operational and governance oversight practices and expertise’ (p.5). In their recommendations, they provided several suggestions to Laurentian specifically, but also noted that other universities might benefit from their implementation. One that strikes a chord for us at SMU is their suggestions related to legal counsel: -assess the costs and benefits of engaging external legal counsel and, -hire an in-house counsel who is able to address the more frequent legal matters We FOIPOP’ed our external legal expenses over the past 5 yrs, learning that we have spent nearly $1.5M.

Imagine having an idea so important, so revolutionary, so shattering of the colonial establishment’s worldview, that they have to literally censor you in panic not once but twice, even nuking one of the leading academic publications in the US to keep people from reading it

cut off from email, servers and online library services...McGill law professors
@AMPL/AMPD (@AMPL_AMPD) profile picture@AMPL/AMPD@AMPL_AMPD3 Jun 2024
The failure of @mcgillu to negotiate at all (let alone in good faith) is aimed at harming students who seek assistance from their professors. We continue with our grading of the @LawMcGill's FAQ, pointing out how students are being used as pawns.
