Who we are

We are a coalition of staff, faculty, and students at Queen’s University opposed to the recent budget cuts mandated by the Board of Trustees and the Provost. These drastic cuts will compromise the academic mission of Queen’s and lead to job losses that will hurt those who are already most precarious. Our goal is to educate our community about the causes and implications of austerity at Queen’s and in the Ontario post-secondary sector more generally and to work towards meaningful alternatives.

What we are fighting for

Our goal is to educate about the causes and implications of austerity at Queen’s and in the Ontario post-secondary sector more generally and to suggest meaningful actions and alternatives for dealing with ongoing underfunding. Our work is grounded in the belief that public education should be truly and fully publicly funded, requiring the abolition of tuition fees, full job security for everyone employed in the post-secondary sector, adequate compensation for all labour, and a basic income for everyone.
