SUMMARY:Rally Against Carleton's Gag Order
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, December 2 at 2:30PM in front of Richcraft Hall (besides the Gandhi Statue)\, where the University community will be protesting against the proposed Institutional Impartiality Policy. President Wisdom Tettey and the Governance Committee of the Board of Governors have refused to withdraw or significantly amend the policy\, and it will be coming to the Board for approval during the December 2nd meeting. \nDATE: Tuesday\, December 2\, 2025\nWHEN: 2:30PM\nWHERE: Outside Richcraft Hall\, where the Board will be meeting \nMedia and photographers will be present. If you do not wish to be photographed\, please mask up. \nThe proposed Institutional Impartiality Policy prevents all academic units\, including the administration\, faculties\, departments\, institutes\, and centres of the University\, from issuing any stance on public\, political\, or academic issues. The matters of debate that will be under the scope of this policy will be decided case by case\, but can be assumed to include discussions of Equity\, Divestment\, and Inclusion; matters related to Israel’s conduct in Gaza and the West Bank; Russia’s invasion of Ukraine; investments in fossil fuels and the climate crisis; and provincial or federal infringement on student and faculty rights\, among others.

SUMMARY:Breaking Free of Neoliberalism: A conversation with Alex Himelfarb
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a vital discussion with Alex Himelfarb about his book Breaking Free of Neoliberalism: Canada’s Challenge. Alex will be joined in conversation by Kevin Skerrett from the Institute of Political Economy at Carleton University. \nFor forty years\, neoliberalism has dominated political thinking in Canada. But as inequality grows\, the climate emergency worsens\, and global power shifts\, it’s clear that neoliberalism’s basic tenets – privatization\, public service cuts\, tax breaks for big business\, and corporate deregulation – have failed to meet today’s challenges. \nIn Breaking Free of Neoliberalism\, Alex Himelfarb traces how these ideas became entrenched in Canadian governance and explores how we can chart a new course. Drawing on his experience as a public servant and policy thinker\, Himelfarb calls for a renewed understanding of the public good and the crucial role government must play in shaping a just and sustainable future. \nCo-sponsored by the Institute of Political Economy at Carleton University and the Canadian Union of Public Employees. \nAlex Himelfarb joined the federal public service in 1981 after a decade teaching at the University of New Brunswick. He was appointed Clerk of the Privy Council in 2002 and served three Canadian Prime Ministers until his appointment as Ambassador to Italy. After his retirement from public service in 2009\, he led the School of Public and International Affairs at York University’s Glendon College until 2014. Alex has served on and chaired numerous NGO boards and advisory committees\, including the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives\, the Coalition to End Homelessness\, the Atkinson Foundation\, and WWF Canada. \nThis event is free and open to all. Please RSVP to help us know how many guests to expect. Doors open at 6:30pm.
