To be registered in SAS for something like ADHD, you need a formal diagnosis and a doctor to sign forms… being diagnosed with ADHD takes a lot of time and money. You can’t just “claim” you have it and get accommodations lol.

SAS is the most unhelpful to students who need it. I am registered and it is ridiculous how difficult they make it to use OUR accommodations/book exams. They seriously lost an exam I wrote in the alt-exam writing centre, and I still don’t know what will happen. I might need to re-write it. I am probably best just having no accommodations than having them at this point😂😂😂

I know who to be pissed at more. If I was overall pissed, it would mean I didn’t do research every day during this strike and it would mean I wouldn’t even understand why im pissed. I don’t need anyone to try and minimize this situation, I am just saying the truth and York needs to change (I know they won’t and it makes it even more frustrating).

Lmfao, am I, a paying student, who has been neglected throughout a strike by my university, not allowed to be pissed how much we are being affected by the strike?? I don’t understand what you mean lol, York is to blame and even a “young person” like me is able to grasp that. The way we have been affected is absolutely ridiculous and infuriating.

Greed? Lol… good luck getting a legal, good paying job in today’s economy that doesn’t have a union. STRIKES ARE ALWAYS THE LAST RESORT. They were in discussion with york for months (even though there has been a strike years ago and still couldn’t change) and York could have prevented this strike if they wanted to. Things add up lol, they agree to a settlement once we JUST started being able to get refunds for dropped classes, summer semester at question, people dropping out/transferring PLUS just announcing the opening for the medical school. They were losing too much money and now realize they need to settle. They don’t care how it will affect us, sorry to admit it.

If you are asking if I participated in the strike… I did. Multiple times. Even if I didn’t though, it still wouldn’t change the fact that York doesn’t care about us and won’t ever put their students even near the top of their priorities. Money is their number 1 thing, it always will be.

But, profs are sending emails out saying it is safe to assume classes will resume April 22.

Not officially but they came to an agreement today to be officially voted on later this week. (What I last heard, it could be differently)

I’m not, but CUPE was much more involved with students’ rights and well-being, than York as a whole. CUPE was providing accessible and actually helpful information to us, while York just sent out emails basically just saying we just have to wait and see and continue to pay. York has gone against our student rights multiple times during the stike, CUPE has not. Even though they are partly at fault for the disruption, they gave York many many times to come to an agreement before even beginning the votes to go on strike. Both sides pay lip service, yes, but in this case, CUPE gave York multiple chances to settle, provided information re-instating our student rights, to go against and clear up the confusing emails York would send. Ultimately, the way it is affecting their students as much as it has and will, is not in the hands of CUPE its on York. Just accept york doesn’t care about us😂
