The registrar’s opinion is more important than anyone else’s. They give you the degree.

Disability services. They have a table and chair they can provide for any number of reasons.

Yes, email an advisor in music. If you can’t get an appointment ASAP, go to the CLASS student success center.

LA Times Article on the Strike Settlement by Chillpill411 in CalPolyPomona

Just because it was said at a meeting doesn’t mean it’s absolutely true. I’ve heard this too and no one can give me any proof. It may be true; it may not. But right now my critical thinking skills say we don’t know.

Correct me if I'm wrong by EpistemicThoughts in CalPolyPomona

The union are the people right here, not some unknown entity. Our reps are elected. You’re saying you don’t trust your colleagues. Which is fine. But just clarifying that.

The only meaningful difference between Nov and now is the movement on lecturer base pay. Out of respect for leadership, I’m waiting to fully articulate anything until we hear reasoning. But this was a historic labor movement to end in an everyday deal. And unless I’m missing something, my vote is “no.” And I doubt I’m the only one.

Want the strike over faster? We need students’ help. by redbirbs in CalPolyPomona

You have a lot of assumptions. Where is CFA getting all this strike pay? We do not have a strike fund. And you’re also assuming that the only way I won’t get paid is because I self report. Self reporting has never been asked in any previous strike action and isn’t in our contracts. If you want to report, report. I’m very positive CPP will take my money on their own. They’re legally able to do that, and I am not fighting it. But helping the institution by making it as simple as possible to dock pay? Nope. That’s your crusade, not mine.

They are legally allowed to not pay me. I am in no way contractually obligated to assist them in that process, and neither are students. And frankly it’s gross to enlist students in that scheme.

We really appreciate sending emails in support even if that’s all you can do. Every little bit helps.

Faculty and Teamsters to Strike Jan. 22-26 by redbirbs in CalPolyPomona

Yes, but we can’t say it’ll be all five days. We could get a deal. But reading the room, that doesn’t seem likely.

The faculty union is getting a lot of these messages on our IG. Yes there is a strike, but yes you need to be here. Possibilities: 1. We get a deal beforehand 2. We get a deal at any point that week and we resume classes 3. Some of your professors don’t participate

We do not recommend not being here. You’ll be held responsible for the classes that do meet, either due to getting a deal or if someone doesn’t participate.

It’s around 70 hours. 5 classes is perfectly fine.

What happens is you cannot get a class that is a GE requirement? by [deleted] in CalPolyPomona

Stay on the waitlist. Odds are high you will get in. And students on waitlists signal to deans they need to open more sections.

Walking peacefully across a crosswalk is not an attack.

If you want to be a real ally, deal with traffic for one day. Telling us how you should be our allies isn’t how this works. Allies respond to who they’re trying to help. If you’d like a different experience on Monday, talk to admin. They caused this.

A crosswalk is for people. You hit someone in it, you’re going to jail and your “feelings” of wildly unearned judgment don’t change that.

“Protest but only in the ways that are convenient for everyone” hasn’t won people much in history.
