What are your thoughts on the TA strike at York?

“I feel that Ontario universities have been mismanaged financially, and all students are suffering. Schools need to have a better allocation of funding.”

Matthew Shuster, MA ’09

“I agree with the TA’s; it’s just unfortunate that other students have to be affected.”

Hannah Grimson, ArtSci ’11

“It makes me glad we don’t have unionized TA’s at Queen’s. I feel the strike is hurting the students the most.”

Kyle Richardson, MA ’10

“It’s screwing over the students.”

Cori Taliuna, Law ’10

“I’m glad the TAs at Queen’s didn’t unionize.”
