2. Important message from the Department
of Theatre:
Hello everyone and welcome to
the new year. I hope that you have been enjoying the holidays.
Please pass this email on to any students you may have contacts
for who are not members of the TSA or Student Production Managers
- I do not have access all student emails from my desk at home.
I am writing in regards to the interview with Theatre student
Melanie Hague in today's Toronto Star. There is information that
could be misleading and I want to make sure that it does not cause
confusion. I have talked to Melanie and I know that it was not her
intention at all to create any misunderstanding nor to shed any
negative light on the Department of Theatre.
The specific line I am concerned about reads "Two earlier student
plays have been cancelled because of the strike".
We have not cancelled any productions, nor are we planning to. We
did recognize that we would not be able to make up the missed
performances of Fireraisers which were lost in November.
The Department Executive has been meeting regularly to reassess
possibilities for all remaining productions and we have never
considered cancellation an option.
Although there are still many unanswered questions regarding the
resumption of activities, we are working to make sure that we can
get back on track as much as possible. I am piggy backing this
email on the tail of my last email in case there are people who
may not have received it. It does state what we do know at present
about the Department activities.
Thank you all, and I hope to see you soon!
Regards,
Shawn

3. Students who are beginning courses at
Sheridan College this week will have to arrange scheduling
problems with Fall Term courses at York resuming after the strike
ends with instructors in their York courses. There should be
plenty of flexibility and understanding.
4. Students who have arranged for holidays
during the now cancelled Reading Week will also have to make
arrangements instructor by instructor. Since Reading Weeks
are supposed to be academic, I am not certain about
the amount of flexibility will be granted that will be show.
In every case petitions will be possible and handled with care and
understanding.
5. Deadlines for refunds for dropped courses in
Winter Term will be adjusted relative to the starting dates
of these courses.
6. No academic terms at York have been
cancelled.
