Town Hall Spin vs. Faculty Reality

April 25, 2025 by Lynelle Yutani Leave a Comment

Image of a cocktail napkin with a ring stain on it showing scribbles and a smiling face doodle with the words "We need a better plan!" where better plan is underlined and the words accountability, transparency, and consultation are bracketed and emphasized.

If you missed the Town Hall yesterday or wondered what the CCFA's response would be, happy weekend reading! Watch for our Press Release after the election next week! What we heard in the April 2025 Camosun College Town Hall was a scripted performance aimed at damage control — not a plan for fair, transparent, or good-faith labour adjustment. Lane Trotter's remarks … [Read more...] about Town Hall Spin vs. Faculty Reality
