McGill University Faces Potential Semester Cancellation Amid Faculty Strike
The administration and law professors' union remain at an impasse, leaving students in limbo as the university threatens to cancel classes.
- McGill University has warned that it will cancel law school classes if no agreement is reached with the striking faculty union by the end of the day.
- The university offered to drop its legal challenge against the union's certification if the union agrees to negotiate working conditions collectively with other faculty unions.
- The Association of McGill Professors of Law rejected the offer, calling it a 'non-offer' that fails to meet their demands for better pay and governance involvement.
- Students are facing significant uncertainty, with some worried about extending their degrees or losing summer job opportunities due to the potential semester cancellation.
- The McGill Law Students’ Association criticized both the administration and the union, urging more flexibility to resolve the dispute and protect students' educational interests.
