Everything old is new again. Prioritization and mergers are so 90s politicians should wear flannel shirts when they say it. & privatization? Enjoy watching public benefits of #highered disappear to private pockets

The townhall, "Protecting Postsecondary Education in Nova Scotia," has been moved online because of the impending storm (thanks to the organizers for arranging this on such short notice!). #nspse #cdnpse
Details and the link to join are at cocogov.org/blog/townhall/.
#StormChips not included. :-)
Instead, NSgov is requiring Dal to spend 💰💰 to assess all of its programs all at once (usually done in rotation & grouped by unit, so all of a dept’s programs are assessed every 7 years, incl external review, as is standard in #cdnpse), and create a master’s in real estate.
Priorities? #nspse 😢
