Dalhousie professor Gregory Payne has gone public with his stance on the compensation of faculty, strike looming. “The university is not acknowledging our tremendous efforts during these unprecedented times” says Payne. According to various sources, his students have been supplied with 4 poorly structured PDFs, and no lecture materials this semester. Payne’s research has been paused since the pandemic began last March. When asked by the Mackerel to elaborate on his tremendous efforts, Payne commented “I have various responsibilities. I can assure you they are all very pressing and important.”
