Some Ontario university faculty say they're skeptical of the $1.2 billion announcement that's expected on Monday, saying it's not nearly enough.Ontario's universities and colleges are expected to get a $1.2-billion financial boost on Monday, sources have told CBC News. But in some circles, the impending announcement is already getting a failing grade. The funding will provide some $1.
The University of Ottawa is projecting a deficit of approximately $10 million in its operating fund, while Carleton University projects it will return to a balanced budget by 2028.Andrew Robinson has been a contract instructor in Carleton's physics department since 2011, teaching first- and second-year science and engineering students."Small classes, permanent instructors, good libraries, lots of support staff — all of those things are really up to the bone at the moment," he said.
Andrew Robinson teaches first-year physics at Carleton University on contract, and he's frustrated with his wage and lack of job security. The expected $1.2 billion is a "drop in the bucket" compared to what the province's institutions need to succeed, said Nigmendra Narain, president of the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations.
The funding will be allocated based on the needs of individual institutions that apply for it, according to the CBC's source.
