https://facebook/events/291930360997957/ Solidarity 2015 Concordia is holding a Town Hall on Austerity next Monday November 24th from 5-7pm in the CSU Big Lounge! You should all come, and share this event!! Government cuts are hitting us hard. Will we strike back? The government of Quebec is planning drastic cuts to all public services. After cutting $172 million from higher education, and the effects of these cuts are already being felt by faculty, staff, and students across the university. The government is planning on slashing even more from our post-secondary institutions. This means $15.7 million at Concordia, and rather than speaking out as others have, our university has embarked on a disastrous project to eliminate 180 jobs through its voluntary departure program. Who knows what will come next? The goal of our Town Hall event is to create a forum to discuss the effects of, and potential solutions to, the recent and forecasted cuts to public services that Quebecers depend on: cégeps and universities, healthcare, childcare, pensions, and many more. Come and share your ideas so we can work toward a more constructive means of addressing government cuts and compressions.
