It's now a week since @dalfaculty.bsky.social members were locked out by Dal's board. No access to our physical & virtual workspaces. My students & TAs are left stressed about what will happen next week & I am so angry for them. Do better @dalhousie.bsky.social Get back to the table & #KeepDalStrong

This dispute is my 5th. The usual "tension" feels different, not in the way I would have expected. Experience should ease my mind, but not this time. There's a culture shift, a tipping point, with internal (Dal) & external admins (province). "We're not going to build together. We'll control alone."

I feel so bad for my students. They have received no communication. Will they just show up for class on Tuesday and find an empty room? Even the auto-reply on my email has been disabled.

I was affected by the 2001 lockout/strike and I can say, stress is definitely something that felt. The fact that these sorts of tactics are still being employed is rediculous.

It is incredibly stressful. Goes against all the things that @dalhousie.bsky.social committed to in the #OkanaganCharter signing of 2022. Such hypocrisy #KeepDalStrong www.dal.ca/news/2022/08...

Thank you. I'm also stressed as my course is not yet up on Brightspace & I have a looming grant deadline I'm not likely to make!
