    With the finalized program prioritization model announced in a letter to the campus community on May 10, the TransformUS initiative is one step closer to completion.

  • Constructive criticism: bad timing for school of architecture

    By March 6, 2013

    The university is spending much of March hosting discussions on a possible architecture program at the school. Isn’t it great that the U of S can still explore new options for colleges and programs while there’s a projected deficit of $44.5 million by 2016 and as the health sciences building is being “scaled back”? Give me a break.

  • Massive round of layoffs looms: colleges and units unaffected so far will soon see job cuts

    By February 27, 2013

    The University of Saskatchewan is gearing up to execute a second and more extensive round of job cuts between now and the end of April. Soon the remaining 75 per cent of colleges and units that have so far gone unaffected by cuts will see layoffs.

    By February 9, 2013

    Unless you have been living under a rock you probably know our school has a money problem to the tune of a projected $44.5-million budgetary shortfall. My interest was naturally piqued when I heard that the province and PotashCorp will fork over $50 million to the University of Saskatchewan.

    By February 1, 2013

    Even though Ilene Busch-Vishniac makes $400,000 a year and gets a free house, I feel for her. Like Obama still trying to stabilize the U.S. economy after Bush’s shitstorm term in office, Busch-Vishniac has to clean up the University of Saskatchewan’s financial situation in a way that is manageable, sustainable and cost-effective.

  • Opinion: ‘TransformUS’ will benefit the University of Saskatchewan

    By January 31, 2013

    In recent weeks there have been cries of outrage from students and some faculty over the “TransformUS” prioritization process being adopted at the University of Saskatchewan. But what many people fail to realize is that this process will be beneficial for the university in the long term.

  • Letter to the Editor: Blame Sask. Party, not U of S administration, for budget woes

    By January 30, 2013

    Over the last few weeks, and especially in last week’s “Money Issue” of the Sheaf, significant disgruntlement has been directed toward administrators at the University of Saskatchewan. In reality, administrators at the U of S have done their best to deal with the Saskatchewan Party’s intentional decision to defund post-secondary education in Saskatchewan.
