Student from the University of Lethbridge held a sit-in today outside the U of L’s management offices to voice frustrations over the stalemate between the faculty association and Board of Governors.
This week students should have been coming back to in-person classes (as per the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions), instead they received notice that when the strike does end, the rest of the semester will be held online.
The University of Lethbridge’s Faculty Association (ULFA) is entering into its 3rd week of strike. Both the Board of Governors and the faculty are refusing to budge with their bargaining, each accusing the other of leaving the bargaining table.
As part of the sit-in students are asking for refunds on tuition, a vote of no confidence on the heads of administration and an end to faculty restructuring.
