Strike..

[roldgold]

As some of you may already know, TAs and alot of other staff are likely going to go on strike by the end of February for U of T (and York will probably follow).

This may or may not delay graduation for students currently in their last semester.

In the case that a strike does occur and delays completion of undergrad degrees, would Western automatically disqualify students in this position?

I'd like some feedback from current or former Western med students as they probably have a better guess as to what route Western might take.

After talking to some ppl who experienced the disastrous almost 3 month long strike at York, schools are very accommodating and I would not worry.

exactly - schools are generally quite fair in the process. If there is some reasonable explanation for a delay then they will take that into consideration. The only real issue I suppose is if the strike went so long that you couldn't actually graduate prior to Sept but that is a bit extreme to say the least

Thanks. Yea I did get a little bit carried away and was thinking worst possible scenario.

There are people in my class who defended their masters well into the school year (one even a few weeks ago, I think). They're pretty accommodating.

Schulich also has a fair bit of experience with strikes - they're very concerned about protecting students in those situations.
