Hi all,
I would welcome summary comments and responses from those who are able to attend the Town Hall. I teach lab this afternoon and regretfully can't attend. It's helpful to get a faculty perspective (or multiple faculty perspectives) on the content and tone of the meeting.

I registered/rsvped yesterday and I got a link. For anyone who was unable to register, you can try the link they sent me--I don't know whether you have to be registered for it to work though.
Join the Town Hall via Zoom: https://sfu.zoom.us/j/83269981996?pwd=Fq1407M2BbOsA7o5HaLOwvO7FMgpNP.1

Granted I'm on leave and may have missed the memo, but it would be nice for faculty who can attend this zoom town hall today to be able to do so.
"A calendar invite will be sent to those who register before Wednesday, January 25. All registrants will receive the Zoom link on the morning of the event."

as you may know, there's a towm hall today for Faculty and Staff, hosted by the SFU President, to chat about priorities and budgets.
(Wed.,
Jan. 31, 2024 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM PST).
I hope many of us can attend this. We, as faculty, have both the duty and the right to participate in the governance of the university, and to be part of discussions around it.
The issues that may arise will be reflective of who is there. We likely won't agree with each other on what university priorities ought to be, and that's a good thing. Herds of cats are vastly more interesting to me than herds of lemmings. But even cats
need to show up at the watering hole.
