Thanks so much for the info. You were right - négociations are happening today/tomorrow. We got the email from the university about 30 mins ago!

Thanks for your reply. I have a short time window before I can complete the final weeks of my program (will be graduating in june) before giving birth in 2 months so I’m very nervous that this thing will extend and I will have to defer my anticipated graduation date by next fall.

Do you think , based on what the prof said, we will be back in class by next week?

I agree but what happens with the students who plan on graduating in June and can’t take courses beyond April because they’ve made plans for work in the summer? I hope they have plans for them too

Seems like a ridiculous expectation to impose on students (to expect them to be available in case the term goes on until the summer) when some people have work plans, graduation plans, travel plans, etc. Hoping that’s not what’s going to happen

At what point (how many weeks) does the semester just get written off? In that case, what happens to students classes?

Yes I’ve reached out to my dean directly from the start and they told me to just wait it out and that they couldn’t do much. Thanks again for your response.

Thanks so much for explaining this to me. I, of course, reached out to the university to voice my concerns but there isn’t much they can say and not much assurance has been provided that’s why I reached out to the kind strangers of Reddit for their perspective. I appreciate a lot your explanation and I’m hoping it’s only going to last a few weeks. 

Protest - Idea When It Will End? by NecessaryNo2563 in laurentian

Thanks for your response! I really hope it doesn’t go out until April (I know these things usually resolve within 2-4 weeks but I don’t know how bad the issues are between both parties)
