At least if I have a break, I might have a chance of actually completing my thesis. If I lose my thesis because of a full-semester strike... well, I'll just write it for next year 
Still, shitty deal. I don't want to lose a semester. enmand |

You've got 22 hours to write another chapter. |

Is there some chance (however small) for a slightly-delayed semester? I know they usually try to condense it instead, but I wonder if there is any possibility of extending the year slightly. That would not be a bad thing no matter how much some people might groan; we're better off and less stressed that way although I'm not getting my hopes up. If there is a work stoppage do the profs still get paid a full year's salary? Also, what happens re: tuition and stuff if the term is canceled? _________________ "Ah, sleek vigilant puma.

I hope they don't extend the semester because that will run into my plan of taking a spring course. I'd rather continue self-study based on the scheduled syllabus until/if the semester is resumed. After all, we've already paid the bill. |

Aren't the chances of losing this semester like really slim? |

Oh, if you don't lose the semester then who cares? |

That's not what I meant. They didn't get any money back, but they also didn't lose their semester. It sucks to lose part of the semester, even a week, and not get any money back for it, but it's not like they lost a whole semester (thereby losing the credits they would've earned) and weren't reimbursed at least some of the cost. I don't want to lose any class. If we lose, say, a week but not the whole semester, I can't see the university refunding students the equivalent of a week's tuition. Sure, I'd want my money back, but I can at least understand their justification for not giving the refund. |

Can anyone find the latest proposals online? I can't understand why the University wouldn't make these public, it seems like it would be in their best interests. _________________ To avoid complications, she never kept the same address In conversation, she spoke just like a baroness |

Honestly, I'd take a week to catch up and work on some of the things I have coming due. Reading week never does that because all of the professors build massive work into it. |

They'll build er into the strike too bro. Most important question for me regarding strike: ski or surf? |

Most of my professors have said essentially "Just take the time to catch up if a strike happens, and keep up with the readings on the Syllabus. etc" |

If the term is canceled, though, do we get something back? No one seems to know. _________________ "Ah, sleek vigilant puma. Principal of the mountains." -Seymour Skinner. |

More info will come out tomorrow (Tuesday) at 5:00. That is when the faculty will be meeting to find out what happened on the weekend, and what their next steps will be. _________________ Hi, I'm Troy McClure.
