James Compton, prev prez @CAUT_ACPPU shows that there was a massive increase in student population, but this has slowed over the last 3 years. It would have slowed more, were it not for international students. Yet, #PSE funding from fed has been flat, has decreased at prov level
... Tuition has also increased over time. Faculty wages are not the culprit though, the % #PSE expenditures on wages has diminished over time. There is also more reliance on contract staff ➑️ and academic staff are not being renewed

1/ Scientific funding is not a voter priority. We were fortunate the πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ gov took the Fundamental Science Review seriously. At one point, it wasn’t looking that way. Yay, #SupportTheReport. That it feels it has now finished its work is a worry, but...
2/ Our job as a scientific community is not to lobby for incremental change, a few more dollars for the agencies, a few more crumbs. Instead, look South for inspiration.
3/ NIH has bipartisan support. Trumpian threats to cut its budget are tossed aside. It rises above the enormous political divide. It enjoys a stellar reputation and awareness of the good it does, both as an economic driver and for quality of life.
