And people wonder why I think unions should be abolished?
On average your profs would be making 8000-18000 more per year after ONLY 4 years!! Who else on the planet gets that kind of wage? AND IT'S STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!?!?!?!?
So listen, next time tuition goes up don't blame the government. Thank your ever so greedy profs who are probably the same ones that critisize the government for not enough education spending. If they cared so much they would settle for the same workload with a raise equalling that of inflation. (most people arent even lucky enough to get that much!) |
I don't know about that actually (one of the few times we've disagreed hehe).
From what i saw on OPSEU's website, what the profs want the most is more full-timers in the classrooms. And according to a media advisory release from the Canadian Federation of Students "in the past 15 years, the number of college students increased by 53% while real, per-student government funding declined by 41%. At the same time, the number of full-time faculty has decreased by 21.84%" [source].
Also, considering the Ontario government wants increase the college tuition in September, i think it's only right that we, as students, should get better quality education, in other words, more one on one time with profs. It's getting increasingly hard to speak to them between classes.

“What we’re seeing is just the tip of the iceberg,” said Greener. “Last year, college presidents made it clear to the Ontario government that at least $150 million in additional funding was required for the current year—just to stop the steady decline in quality. Yet colleges received $50 million less than required just to maintain the status quo, never mind making improvements.”
“In this context, it is outrageous that the Ontario government is preparing to increase college tuition fees next September,” said Greener. “Why should Ontario families keep paying higher and higher fees for less and less quality?”
Ontario students are demanding that the Ontario government immediately:
- inject the funding necessary to resolve the faculty / management dispute by funding a 10 percent increase in the number of full-time faculty within the college system;
- place a moratorium on tuition fee increases until the full-time faculty-student ratio is restored to 1990 levels; and
- provide a full reimbursement of costs borne by students as a result of the disruption of classes. |
