While the financial picture seems to be stabilizing at VIU in Nanaimo, it has been a very rough past 2 years. The worst in my 25 years. I have seen so many colleagues forced into retirement and others, sessionals just not be around.

In total just on the Faculty, IT, Librarian and Advisory forces alone, my union has lost close to 100 members.

The really really frustrating thing is faculty unions and others have warned administration and government for YEARS... Decades... that the over reliance on massive international student fees and enrolments was a huge risk.

The chicken is now officially home and roosting and it sucks. We are deeply hurting the ability of our young people to be successful. 😢

(Trades and Staff are in different Unions - BCGEU and CUPE respectively - from VIUFA faculty at VIU. They have suffered greatly too. BCGEU possibly a little less as a percentage, but CUPE, definitely more. )

I am plotting a 'return to school' - basically looking for a more-formal continuation of my never-ending-self-schooling. And, obviously, #VIU is a top convenient choice.

What would be your guidance for an oldbie wanting to take courses with no specific concentration but a dozen different obsessions?

only in Nanaimo at VIU can you count more than 10 tiny nearly identical bunnies in all of 10 minutes.

one new clutch of 5 perfectly black, tiny guys were munching grass in no more than a 10ft space just now. Multiple students were just standing quietly watching them like 🥹🥹🥹

this tiny fluffball was eating under the protection of a tree in the japanese garden this morning. there was a grey friend nearby.

truly a hard life for bunnies
