More than 10,000 full-time college support staff at Ontario’s 24 public colleges began a strike on September 11 amid underfunding woes. The deal has yet to be voted on by the Dalhousie Faculty Association (DFA) membership and dates for a ratification vote have not been made public. David Robinson, executive director of the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT), highlighted that provincial governments across the country have been underfunding post-secondary education which has fueled deteriorating labour conditions for professors and instructors. But last year’s cap on international students has revealed the real issue in post-secondary education. As the struggle for a public post-secondary education continues in Nova Scotia, Ontario and across Canada, Robinson urges people to stand in solidarity with faculty and students.
