Queen’s likes its prestige, but doesn’t want to invest in maintaining it. Unfortunately, the University’s attitude in addressing QUFA’s concerns highlights this institution’s hypocrisy. When a program has a core of tenured profs, they act as pillars to support the program and foster academic engagement.
The value they bring to our university community is not properly recognized by the Queen’s administration. Job security and good benefits aren’t huge asks, especially considering the time and money faculty members invest into research and honing their expertise. Students should want to attend an institution that offers competitive compensation and benefits to attract-and retain-the best instructors. Let’s not meet constructive criticism with hostility. Touting diversity without investing in it isn’t working-it’s okay to admit that and change direction. Queen’s claims it wants to attract a diverse group of students and faculty, but won’t address how Kingston can be a hostile environment for BIPOC individuals. The University shouldn’t hesitate to admit attracting and retaining BIPOC faculty is a unique challenge in a predominantly white city with deep colonial roots.
We can’t expect Queen’s to become a more inclusive community if we refuse to acknowledge our shortcomings. The Association feels Queen’s has taken a hostile approach to negotiations, with reasonable requests rejected outright.įor example, in response to a QUFA-proposed “working group” focused on retaining BIPOC faculty, the University’s Chief Negotiator denied Queen’s has retention issues and called the suggestion that Kingston’s lack of diversity is a deterrent offensive. Queen’s should stop shortchanging faculty or risk further damaging its reputation.Īfter months of negotiations with the University, the Queen’s University Faculty Association (QUFA) is serious about striking at the end of the month if talks don’t yield results by then.

This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. As we remember the attacks on our nation five years ago next week, homeland security remains my top priority – and what keeps North Jersey safe at its ports, its airports, and its vast infrastructure targets keeps the nation safe. But, terrorists are constantly adapting and changing, and we must remain one step ahead of them.Įarlier this year, I was proud to support $1.2 billion in extra funds for expanded overseas container inspections, radiation portal monitors at all ports, and more. As I explored the methods and techniques we employ to screen incoming cargo, detect dangerous substances, and block terrorist threats at American ports, I became more convinced than ever that the funding we’ve put into new port security measures is money well spent. Customs and Border Protection provided me with a comprehensive tour and briefing on key security measures and technologies used at Newark Seaport to fight terrorism in our own backyard.
