MUN faculty, students concerned about upcoming program cuts | CBC News Memorial University has reported a drop in enrolment for the second year in a row, leaving faculty and students worried about the university's future.

MUN plays a crucial role in our province. It has a special obligation to the people of this province.

That obligation can't be met without proper funding.

We stand in solidarity with the students, faculty, and staff who are fighting to protect this vital institution.

Leslie Kenwell, Dental Hygiene LTA at dalhousieu.bsky.social - "My most recent 2yr term ended June 30. I have been granted a 1yr term extension - not a reappointment - with no promise of anything after that. My precariousness has increased." @ansut.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social #KeepDalStrong

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

Look out for us on 21 to 23 Oct around 100 McCaul in the Foyer and the Great Hall (we’ll be carrying the OCADFA flag) and say hi!

You can ask us your questions and learn more about what we do, how we can help you, and where to get more information.

We’ll bring candy!

In Canada, proposed cuts of 15% across the federal government would have a dramatic effect on already globally decimated research & science.

Join Canada's research and science community and tell PM Mark Carney to preserve the funding promised in 2024.

Over the last ten years, Dalhousie University reported $463 million in net surpluses. Where did that money go? Where did it come from? Where is it now? Is any of it available to address the university's current financial constraints?

At the LDLC Labour Day Picnic, we stood with workers across sectors to celebrate solidarity 💪. We spoke with the community about the urgent need to fund public higher education. Universities should be places where students succeed & faculty/staff are fairly supported. Public funding is needed🎓.

‘Challenges and uncertainty:’ Dalhousie University faculty lockout leaves students worried The lockout of Dalhousie University faculty is inching closer to the start of the school year, and it's fuelling concerns among students.

I am increasingly frustrated, even angry, about the hypocrisy—tempted to say disinformation—from @dalhousie.bsky.social’s administration. How can you say “the university’s priority is working with the DFA to reach a resolution” when they have not even tried to return to the table? #KeepDalStrong
