Dear Health Students: 

As the CUPE 3903 Strike continues I know that you have many questions and 
mounting concerns. As a member of the University's negotiating team, I 
want to reassure you that the University is working very hard on reaching 
an end to the strike as soon as possible.  

To provide you with assistance, all of our academic offices are open 
during their regular business hours. This includes academic departments, 
libraries, and administrative departments.  

Remediation plans are being worked out to have classes resume as soon as 
possible following an end to the CUPE 3903 Strike. You will get at least 
24 hours notice. Within parameters to be defined by Senate Executive, your 
Course Directors will determine appropriate remediation for their courses, 
including accommodations for students, modification of normal academic 
regulations, and adjustments in class and examination schedules.  This 
will be governed by the principles of flexibility, discretion and academic 
integrity. 

Please note that the Division of Students Strike FAQs Web site has been 
updated to include FAQs related to Remediation. This is available at: 
http://www.registrar.yorku.ca/disruption/current/remediation.htm 

For the latest information on remediation plans please visit the Labour 
Disruptions Information webpage. For updates on negotiations, please visit 
the Negotiation Updates webpage as well as the Division of Students 
Frequently Asked Questions webpage. A summary of CUPE Local 3903's 
bargaining proposals and costing is available at:

We look forward to having you back on campus! 

Sincerely, 

Harvey Skinner 
Dean, Faculty of Health
