Go Trent!

Macleans On Campus describes the latest stats on faculty salaries in Canada.  As has been discussed over at Whither the U of A, Calgary far outpaces the U of A, but even they take a back seat to a surprising winner, Trent U.  Bear in mind that this institution ranks 7th (between Wilfrid Laurier and St. F-X) on the Macleans list of "primarily undergraduate universities."  The dataset is not complete (e.g., no U of T or McGill), but it should validate the concerns of those who are watching with trepidation as the Alberta economy starts heating up (with consequent inflationary pressures).   And we're being asked to ratify 1.75%/2%.

It Taints Us All

Wow.  It's amazing how efficiently the clowns in charge are destroying the U of A brand.
