The classic Picard facepalm: when no other meme can express the combination of frustration and fatigue |
Update: the Union and CEC signed a memorandum of agreement. This means there will not be a strike. While many issues remain unresolved, both parties have agreed to send all outstanding items to mediation-arbitration with Arbitrator William Kaplan.

Wait, hasn't this happened before? Only COVID could make 2017 seem like a minor annoyance.
I start the term with the specter of yet another impasse in negotiations with the CEC. This time, the issues we're dealing with are even more troubling. A long worstening trend of underfunding Ontario post secondary education has combined with acute changes in international student visas to create a perfect storm.
As happend previously, the CEC would happily cut 5 weeks of payroll to pad the balance sheet. (You can learn more about the CEC here). Unless students are quick to hold the colleges accountable for charging tuituion but not poviding education, I worry this will become a long and ugly battle. Even after the lawsuit was resolved, students ended up losing the most.
That is the part that frustrates me most.
Here are the classes I teach this term:
ANC Animation 2 (6017)
