where I went to library school😔although that particular program isn't among the ones they're cutting

just how little the feds and provinces give a shit about the hollowing out of postsecondary is really tragic

Hype for the Future 70G: Public Universities in Iowa

Overview While the State of Iowa may often be overlooked in national discussions, especially as the State is part of the quintessential “flyover country” that represents much of the American Midwest and greater interior region, the State is actually home to three (3) distinct public universities, namely the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa State University in Ames, and the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls.

1/n Yesterday on @chris I commented (https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/@chris/115612771113881465) about the #PostSecondary review announced by the #BCNDP.

Today, on #socialBC I want to do a summary thread on this 145 page “State of Post Secondary in Canada 2025”.

https://higheredstrategy.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/SPEC-2025_web_v1.pdf

I am grossed out by its AI fanboying -- a statement on the "state" of education in itself -- but the data is good... so... onward.

Oh look, the #BCNDP Government finally noticed the Post-Secondary system is collapsing. *slowclap*

Can hardly wait for that report next spring... maybe I will still have a job by then...

PS: I have a crazy idea: perhaps post-secondary should be majority-funded by government, not by exploitative international tuitions that can just *disappear*)

PPS: Domestic enrolment is not declining in any significant kind of way in the sector. From the “State of Post Secondary Education in Canada 2025” by Alex Usher:
"This decline in per-student funding is therefore not primarily a result of a significant decline in total funding; rather, it is a result of expenditures remaining more or less
constant while enrollments increased.”

WHICH IS WHAT EDUCATORS HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR DECADES

B.C. launches independent review of post-secondary education system

Review comes in response to financial pressures resulting from fewer international students and inflation
