 Subject: MASSMAIL - Strike Information

Dear Students,

The Graduate Employees' Organization has authorized its strike committee 
to call a strike at any time, and a strike is expected Monday, Nov. 16. 
The campus expects that classes will be held as scheduled during the 
strike. It appears that the GEO will establish picket lines around some 
buildings with classrooms, and some instructors have indicated they may 
cancel or relocate classes during a strike.

If you have questions about class access or scheduling, you should contact 
the department that offers the class. Contact information for departments 
is in the campus A-Z Index (http://illinois.edu/ds/azList). 

If you have questions about the impact of a strike on your academic 
progress and degree completion, please raise these questions with your 
college's undergraduate academic affairs office. College contact 
information is also in the A-Z Index.

Students have a right to receive the education for which they are paying 
and for which they have worked hard to earn the opportunity to receive at 
the University of Illinois. Colleges and departments have been planning 
for the possibility of a strike and will ensure that teaching and learning 
continue. The university's goal is to ensure that students are treated 
fairly and the objectives of their courses are fulfilled.

Our highest priority is to ensure that students' academic progress will 
not be impeded.

Sincerely,

Robert Easter
Interim Chancellor and Provost
