Where did the 'Public' Go in Public Education? Funding and Student Debt at SFU

Panel followed by a rally in SFU Convocation Mall


12:30pm
Wednesday November 10 2010

Venue: Simon Fraser University
Address: MBC 2212 - Grad Lounge
Cost: Free

 

The University is in transition: tenure for teaching staff has become the exception, tuition is rising, class sizes are expanding, while at the same time SFU is building new campuses and branding new programs as it claims to have no money. How do we make sense of all of this? What are the relationships between rising tuition and student debt, and public and private funding, and what do they mean for the role of our University? Drawing from a number of perspectives this panel will address the effect of privatization and cuts on public education.

Featuring. . .

John Henry Harter - Sessional Instructor at SFU
Jeff Knaggs - SFU Undergraduate Student 
Myka Tucker-Abramson – SFU Graduate Student and member of the TSSU

Alison Hearn –Professor at University of Western Ontario and Graduate of SFU

Refreshments… will be served.
