• Algonquin fall term may be extended; bargaining back on

  01-11-2017 23:02 via ottawacitizen.com
  Students at Algonquin College may have their fall term extended to make up for time lost during the strike by faculty, says college president Cheryl Jensen.
  In a letter to students, Jensen said the college will try to avoid extending the end of the school year, too, but that  depends on how long the strike lasts.
  However, Jensen said it’s good news that Ontario colleges and the union representing 12,000 striking faculty will return to bargaining Thursday.
