FUN FACT: Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Why isn’t media paying attention to education in this #election2025? Provincial governments are starving all levels of public education, but you can’t have a robust democracy without a robust public education infrastructure. What’s happening in the US is a case in point of the path NOT to follow.

I see a lot of y'all hoping that's you, and I want you to realize how fucked up that is.
It's up to us to fix this.
They straight up black-bagged her in broad daylight. Her whereabouts are unknown. Pls don't pmo saying we're exaggerating about how dire shit is.

A collage-style graphic with the CUPE 3903 logo and an image of a hand holding a stopwatch. A QR code links to https://cupe3903.org/news/mapping-fgs-program-completion-timelines/. The graphic’s text reads: Stop York’s clock! York U is increasing pressure to de-enrol grad students and limit program timelines. Share how the Faculty of Graduate Studies is enforcing milestones & timelines in your department!
Is York rushing your studies? ⏱️
FGS recently told some faculties that they’d be more aggressive in enforcing program completion timelines. This includes threatening to de-enrol students & denying extensions.
To fight back, check this spreadsheet, add info, & organize! cupe3903.org/news/mapping...
