The Dissenter: Striking on York University’s Frontlines
The strike at York University is making national headlines. It is making both students and university administration very nervous, and it is also creating much undue hostility.
The media coverage of the strike is nothing but unfavourable. City TV and CBC news focus mainly on the delays in traffic caused by picketers and provide ample information that happens to coincide with the information provided by York University. The Toronto Star has gone so far as to declare York University’s proposal “reasonable,” and great emphasis is being put upon the fact that York’s graduate students are among the most financially privileged in the country.
