Friends and colleagues! My union (SMU PT Faculty / @cupe3912.bsky.social) has called a strike!
We are asking for a raise (we are some of the lowest paid in Canada, uni is offering 1%! π±), our contracts before the term starts, and a path to permanency.

We are alarmed by Tim Houston's attempt to control academic research in Nova Scotia. This sets a dangerous precedent, posing a danger to current and future research. Long-term research should not be impacted by partisan issues of the day. researchns.ca/2025/05/01/n...

Nova Scotia has proposed legislation increasing political interference in universities.
Political interference in education isnβt just an American phenomenon. Itβs alive and well in Canada too.
Politicians should not dictate the priorities of universities.

Premier Houston wants to make universities 'more accountable' by giving the education minister broad power to determine composition of university BOG, prescribe types of programs they offer and research funding.
