It is true that the students become the victims. However, many students believe in what their faculty are fighting for. They realize that with making these changes it will better their education. Today there are fewer full-time faculty teaching than in 1989, yet student enrolment has doubled. This has a profound impact on the quality of education students receive, as contract faculty are often given little support. Contract faculty earn only a fraction of what full-time faculty do, despite doing the same work. They do not get paid for any work outside of the classroom. Most contract faculty are forced to have multiple part-time jobs to help make ends meet, which takes away from their students learning. So yes, in the end it is the students who suffer because of this. And yet the college employer has refused to address the concerns voiced by faculty. If you want to see these students back in the classroom, call your local MPP and tell them to get the College back to the table!
