In years now long past, Alberta’s government safeguarded education, research and innovation so the spark at the U of A could burn brightly. Now, chronic underfunding is putting that spark at risk. https://t.co/wuTFYOo4za

It should not be a surprise that unions representing highly-skilled and internationally-mobile workers are successfully bargaining to regain wage equity with their peer comparators. The era of concessions is over. https://t.co/C2W3qO0zvj #canlab

Now that the province has returned to a path of increasing prosperity, we are deeply concerned researchers, educators, and most vitally — Alberta’s students — will be left behind.

Our thoughts are with our colleagues and the students at UWaterloo. There is no room for hate on campus — universities are critical venues for exploring ideas and the safety of students and staff at our institutions is paramount.

For the past several years, the govt has created a crisis in AB’s universities through devastating budget cuts. With Budget 2023 funding not meeting inflation, #abpse will yet again shoulder what amounts to cuts, all at the expense of Alberta’s future. https://t.co/AZwPZWFWvn

It is distressing to see that despite a substantial surplus, Budget 2023 further fuels the crisis facing post-secondary education in Alberta.

The AASUA is donating $4,000 to support striking academic staff @MUNFaculty. While it is disheartening to see multiple #pse employers pushing academic staff to job action this week, it is inspiring to see these workers are prepared to stand up for a fair deal.
