Going to say it again. An audit of @uofg needs to investigate how we blew through the corridor on new enrollments last year. Seems likely that *someone* panicked about not meeting targets (especially internationsl) and gave the instruction to send out (way too many) more offers.
The registrar was let go (and now the AVPA, who was appointed without a search, is doing that job as well), but I have no doubt it came from the top. President? Provost? Board of Governors? *Someone* is responsible for the massive increase in workload we're dealing with now.
By the way, the line may be that it was intentional because we needed to make up for not hitting the international recruitment targets.
THAT'S WORSE.
This decision affected faculty and staff workloads, course formats, student housing, etc., with ZERO warning or consultation.
So there are two choices @uofg. Either letting in *way* more students with no warning was an error and we're being gaslit, or it was intentional and there is zero transparency or collegial governance even in huge decisions that affect the entire university community.
No one said our finances were at a Laurentian level. What we actually said, and still say, is that many of the same warning signs apply under this @uofg administration as highlighted in the Auditor Geberal's report on Laurentian.
Uh oh. Info like this being shared by a long COVID patient harms long COVID patients. Please only listen to their self-appointed spokesperson about how "normal, healthy people" aren't at risk and reinfections don't increase the chances of suffering from long COVID.
For real, though, *please* listen to people with long COVID, the immunocompromised, and others with relevant lived experience. Ignore self-promoting minimizers.
Here's the study. I'm sure the minimizers are working on some arguments for why this is "obviously exaggerated" or whatever.
The glee on display over this schoolyard bullying and disregard for the integrity of scientific discourse (a Twitter troll move in a peer-reviewed journal? Seriously?) is incredibly telling.
There is absolutely no doubt what this was, by the way. It's now on @ImmunolCellBiol editors and @ASImmunology to maintain the professional standards of their journal, unless the endorse this kind of thing.
