Solidarity with DFA as they work towards a fair deal!

Dalhousie Faculty Association @dalfaculty.bsky.social · Jul 30

On July 28, DFA Pres Dave Westwood asked @dalhousieu.bsky.social Pres Brooks to meet, get the Board back to the table. Her next 2 weeks are too busy. DFA wants resolution. Dal Board wants a lockout. Aug 11 conciliation meeting will tell the tale. #KeepDalStrong @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

Picket signs arrived at the DFA office today. Hopefully we won't need to unwrap them!

While our bargaining team wants to get back to the table and avoid job action, we will be ready if the @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board of Governors won't bargain. #keepdalstrong @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

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 isn’t just an American phenomenon. It’s 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.
