    « The Ongoing Silliness of the York Strike »

    Wow - day 79 of the strike. That's a record. I'm not even making that up.
    I've managed to garner quite a traffic bump in writing about the mis-adventures of the York U teachers union and the strike that is leaving up to 50,000 students shut in the cold - literally.

    If I was the president of some other local university, I'd be pulling together a VERY neat program to entice the York students to dump their waiting pose and move on over. I'd accept the York credits at face value, let them continue their degrees and heck, even cut them a deal on tuition if they sign up for the remainder of their post-secondary education.

    :-)

    Education is big business.

    I liked when a York official finally said what needed saying: the part-time staff don't get treated like profs because they aren't as qualified or capable, as a group, and are treated accordingly. If they want better job security, why don't they step up their game a bit and try to compete?
