We *did* try to protect our institutions from financial ruin. We critiqued massive over-spending on shiny new buildings. We questioned financial priorities. We asked why VCs and senior management needed those six-figure salaries. We felt so strongly about it, we went on strike.
And the thing is: this won’t stop at the end of the pandemic (when is the ‘end’ of the pandemic, anyway?) but also: it is not up to staff to protect these massive institutions from financial pain, and there is no goodwill left in staff relationships with universities.

sorry, just to be clear:
- the uni has opened consultation with the campus trade unions to make collective changes to our contracts to pay us less
- if they can't agree, they are threatening to FIRE US and then REHIRE US on LOWER SALARIES ('dismissal and reengagement')

I am relieved. But this is a disgrace.
Uni management pursued S188 w/out full financial info, creating huge anxiety and anger - right before we're being asked to teach an unprecedented number of students short-staffed + in person during a global pandemic
the University has withdrawn its s188 notice and the threat of dismissal and re-engagement that was hanging over all staff has been removed. We're pleased to see this but remain disappointed at what was always a premature and unnecessary move by our employers.
