Universities should be governed by staff and students. Sadly, #UAlbertaβs Board of Governors undermined any chance of this happening.
Read my take on how the Board of Governors killed collegial governance and the implications for our community #abpse
Opinion: " What happened December 11 was not a meeting. For our campus, it was a live execution carried out by 13 board members. It was the death of collegial governance."

Today, #UAlberta Board of Governors increased tuition for the 5th year in a row.
Unlike last year, BoG banned people from taking photos during the meeting - presumably because board members don't want the public to see them increasing costs on students #abpse

In response, I thought I'd share some of the amazing photos captured by @The_Gateway photojournalists from last year's meeting. A reminder that public bodies should be publicly accountable to those they serve!

Wow I have never seen a @UASUualberta organized protest with such a low turnout. Last yearβs βhalt the hikeβ protest was really well attended. Iβm confused how this happened
Big news from @The_Gateway, the #UAlberta Sexual Assault Centre has largely suspended services over the past 2 months after firing 3 employees and putting all volunteers on leave #abpse
Since November 20, the U of A Sexual Assault Centre has offered reduced services because of concerns surrounding volunteer and staff safety following the termination of former director Samantha Pearson. On January 23, three more staff were let go.

Extremely happy to see this article published with @DrJaredWesley.
Beyond being a great research topic, the use of personas in #cdnpoli has important implications for how parties create policies and communicate them to the public. Make sure to check out our research!
My latest research with @mitchellpawluk examines the use of personas -- like "Dougie" -- in political communications and policymaking.
This was one of my favourite studies to date.
