It's been almost four weeks since the
@dalhousieu.bsky.social
lockout of DFA faculty began. Progress has been made. Now, it's time for President Brooks to step in and get the Board to accept what is a fair and reasonable offer by the DFA. Let's get on with the term.

As someone who does research with trans minors in Canada, I worry about my uni’s contact with Microsoft. Research participants email me to book interviews and those notes live in the archive (which is housed in the US). Data sovereignty should be our goal in Canada.

Hey

Woke to an inbox full of $$ donation notifications from across the country. The messages of solidarity come from colleagues from Nfld to BC: some of the wisest in this country. But it's not just money. We all have your backs, DFA!

You are not the university, you are merely its administrative apparatus. The university consists of the students, the faculty, and the staff, alongside its administrative units. To borrow a phrase from Kendrick, you need to sit down, be humble.
