Courses and other academic activities resume Monday, February 2
The York University Labour Disputes Resolution Act, 2009 has been passed by the Ontario legislature and received royal assent. As a result, the Executive Committee of Senate declares that the disruption of academic activities that began on November 6, 2008 has ended. Courses and other academic activities that were suspended at the outset of a strike by CUPE 3903 will resume on Monday, February 2.
This communication has been issued by the Executive Committee of Senate in accordance with its responsibilities under Senate's Policy on the Academic Implications of Disruptions or Cessations of University Business Due to Labour Disputes or Other Causes. Over the course of the disruption the Executive Committee issued a number of important communications on academic accommodations and remediation of courses. The documents can be accessed from the University Secretariat Website at
http://www.yorku.ca/secretariat/Strike2008/Strike.htm
The principles of the Disruptions policy - academic integrity, fairness to students and timely information -- will continue to apply during the remediation period.
Faculty members are urged to prepare for a re-orientation period at their first meeting with students. During the first five days of instruction student are not required to submit assignments that were due during the disruption or to take tests.
Students and faculty members may also wish to review FAQs and guidelines issued by the Registrar’s Office, Centre for the Support of Teaching and Faculties.
