The "What do I do when confronted by unmasked students and profs?" question is getting raised more and more often. The reason is because our university managers have dropped the ball. On purpose.

UOIT Faculty Experiential learning is important! It needs to be counted fairly as part of our teaching loads. #GetUsBackInTheClassroom #InvisibleWorkload #WorkingConditionsAreLearningConditions

Experiential learning is important! It needs to be counted fairly as part of our teaching loads. Teaching occurs in the classroom AND in the research labs – Ontario Tech University needs to acknowledge this. #ONStrikeU #GetUsBackInTheClassroom #InvisibleWorkload #FairDeal #OTUstrike

When I got this job at Ontario Tech University I thought is was my dream job. I was going to make a difference. I was going to give experiences to students who otherwise wouldn't get them. If supervision isn't teaching then I can't 😕 #SupervisionIsTeaching #OTUstrike UOIT Faculty #ONstrikeU

An infuriating update: Ontario Tech University still refuses binding arbitration, and just proposed harsher workload provisions than they even made 9 months ago. There will be a strong showing on the campus picket lines tomorrow, this Wednesday. I welcome students and allies to join us.

The irony is not lost on me: my Env Comm class is scheduled to discuss "Direct Action and Radical Communication" tmrw. As PSAC 555 I'm legally obliged to teach during the ongoing UOIT Faculty strike, we're doing a teach-in to read the materials together out loud. #Solidarity

From the article: "The university does not appear to have the same sense of urgency." Why doesn't Steven Murphy feel the same urgency as the students and faculty to #GetUsBackInTheClassroom? UOIT Faculty #ONstrikeU

Ontario Tech University does not think that student supervision = teaching. This requires a willful act of contrived ignorance...Or actual ignorance of what's involved in student supervision. Since Ontario Tech University does not want #BindingArbitrationNow I think it is the first one. UOIT Faculty

On one of the key #ONStrikeU issues, this is the holding pattern that Ontario Tech University (led by Steven Murphy and LivingHealth) is using and thereby extending the strike. Break the infinite loop and #BargainForReal or #BindingArbitrationNow! UOIT Faculty #SupervisionIsTeaching

After 9 months of bargaining and several days into a strike, it’s pretty shocking that Steven Murphy, LivingHealth, & Ontario Tech University, don’t understand the definition of teaching. #ONStrikeU #OTUstrike #MurphysLegacy UOIT Faculty

.Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa, York University, Lakehead University, Wilfrid Laurier University, Western University and Nipissing University all say Supervision = Teaching. Why is Ontario Tech University refusing to do the same? Aren’t our students worth the investment? #WorkingConditionsAreLearningConditions #BindingArbitrationNOW #FairDeal

Beautiful day to be on the picket lines showing support for hardworking UOIT Faculty faculty. They are striking because Ontario Tech University refuses to address concerns about overwhelming workloads, education quality, and #equity. #onpse #onlab #BindingArbitrationNOW #OnstrikeU

Ontario Tech University "The university... values the contributions of all faculty members" REALLY?! Might want to rethink how you're showing this. I've never felt less valued in 13 years in academia. Pls hear what the UOIT Faculty is saying. We're have no more to give. #supervisionISteaching #ONStrikeU

"The reality of the workload issue is to be fair by not applying a one-size-fits-all approach" Ontario Tech University "one-size-fits-all" = fair. You take us for fools. We see through this wordsmithing. 2-course releases per Faculty to be administered at the Deans' discretion is a joke.

Faculty love to bring students into their research labs and hands-on teach them real-world skills. In refusing to credit this work, Ontario Tech University is disincentivizing and discouraging these efforts. Students, this takes opportunities away from YOU! UOIT Faculty #ONstrikeU

Tonight’s Global Durham story on the ongoing Ontario Tech University faculty strike includes interviews with UOIT Faculty professors Timothy MacNeill, Dr.VivianS and #KimberlyNugent. #ONstrikeU #FairDeal

Profs only have so much time for each of their many duties. Increased workload, unusually high student:faculty ratios, and large class sizes = less time per student. Sustainable workloads improve the quality of education for our students. #ONstrikeU UOIT Faculty Ontario Tech University

When we say that we are overworked, we don't mean we want more time off. We mean that we lack the time to do our best on the things that matter to students. Overworked faculty comprises the quality of education that students receive. #ONStrikeU UOIT Faculty Ontario Tech University
