Letter of support to our primary, secondary and college colleagues in the public sector

adminfneeq — Sun, 25 Oct 2015 18:40:36 +0000

This week, tens of thousands of you will be exercising your right to strike in the public-sector negotiations with the government.

We, the private-sector teachers and support staff of the Fédération nationale des enseignantes et des enseignants du Québec (FNEEQ-CSN), wish to publicly express our support for your fight with this letter. FNEEQ-CSN includes 43 unions in the private education sector that together represent nearly 4,000 members. We believe you are being subjected to underhanded and brutal attacks in this collective bargaining process: ludi-crous salary offers, increased workload, greater job precarity, cuts to pension plans, and the list goes on.

Course lecturers Quebec – wide denounce university budget cuts

adminfneeq — Mon, 05 Oct 2015 23:46:46 +0000

Quebec university contract professors, who number over 15,000, decry the negative effects of the budget cuts currently being imposed by the Government of Quebec on the higher education sector. In the face of growing class size and decreased services to students, contract professors fear a decline in the quality of education and of academic support and are outraged at the silence of our university rectors, who appear to be placidly implementing these cuts to the detriment of the fundamental educational mission of the institutions they oversee.

Staff and faculty of Champlain Regional College are in disbelief that Central Administration failed to present a new plan for restructuring the Director of Studies position to increase the academic autonomy of the three campuses at Wednesday’s Board of Governors meeting, disregarding a board resolution adopted unanimously in June.

A crucial meeting tonight

adminfneeq — Wed, 23 Sep 2015 22:23:49 +0000

At this time last year a significant number of faculty and staff, as well as alumni, retirees, students and community members from the St. Lawrence campus of Champlain Regional College (CRC) attended a Board meeting in Drummondville to demonstrate solidarity and voice concerns during question period about governance and college structure. Since that time, a study was commissioned to examine the current role and responsibilities of the college's Director of Studies, a position currently designated to a single person in Central Administration in Sherbrooke. While concerns about the centralized CRC structure have been present since the early 1990’s, the fact that three Directors of Studies have left the college in the last six years brought this question to a head. The final report, presented in March at a CRC Board of Governors meeting, recommended a decentralisation of powers in matters concerning the Director of Studies position and the management of pedagogy and academic programs.
