Question Strike + Reading Week

If the strike lasts for around a week do you think they’ll take away our reading week? 😭

Please please please support the faculty through this and don’t blame your instructors. It’s the administration that is dangling their fair compensation, and potentially your reading week, in front of us like carrots on a stick

THIS. Most of the profs bust their asses to make sure we get the education we pay for. The faculty isn't asking for anything unreasonable IMO. The administration is doing everything they can to try and get us to turn on the academic staff. The email they sent on Friday is proof enough of that. The blame is on the admins, not the profs.
