McGill floor fellows in shock after mass layoffs

Episode Notes On Thursday, McGill’s floor fellows received a shock — the university was cutting their position at the end of term. Floor fellows are McGill’s version of residence advisors. They live in residence halls, offering workshops and one-on-one support to the thousands of students who choose to live in dorms. McGill says it chose not to hire floor fellows back following an internal review. Instead, they’ll be increasing the number of Residence Life Facilitator positions, which do not require students to live on campus. Joining CKUT to discuss the layoffs is Graeme Scott, Vice President of Floor Fellows at the Association of McGill University Support Employees (AMUSE).
