3/3
Teacher Leadership

The first round last year was deep.. we lost our whole long-time music program amongst many other cuts especially in services and in International itself.

This year's cuts are wide, academically and administratively.

A sad time... especially with the state of the world.

My own program has not been immune but in comparison with others, we're precarious but ok.

1/3. Second year of cuts at Vancouver Island University as it grapples with its budget after the loss of international students and the provincial/fed governments just shrugging it off.

This is my 25th year. We've never had cuts anywhere close to this. Various levels of cuts to:

Business
Community Planning
Dental Assistant
Digital Media
(continuted on next post…)

DeepAI generated image with the prompt “My University is cutting its offerings”.  It generated an image of two students, a woman and a man, with papers in front of them on a tables. The background is blurry but appears to be an outside area of a campus.  There is white text overlay that says: “My Unveestty oovertsstt”

Which seems about right…

Note: many Universities, including VIU, are evaluating the use of AI to replace or “augment” student support services.  I’m sure it’ll work out fine.

Taking a step back, some reflections on the current stage of the European alliances' development - how they bring people together on an unprecedented scale not necessarily in new manners: #transnationalcollaborations #internationalEd #europe universityworldnews.com/post-m
