TORONTO – York University says some classes will resume Wednesday despite an ongoing strike by its teaching assistants.
Two of three bargaining units representing the assistants rejected a tentative agreement late Monday while a unit representing contract faculty voted in favour.
Following the vote, York said it would be reviewing plans to allow as many students as possible to return to class in order to complete their terms.
To that end, the school said late Tuesday that classes would resume in engineering, business and nursing plus some courses in liberal arts and professional studies.
University vice-president Rhonda Lenton also cautioned in a statement that tutorials and labs may be affected by the ongoing labour dispute.
She said university officials would meet on Thursday to discuss plans aimed at resuming the balance of courses on Monday.
