For all those who haven't checked, the university posted information to might what happen with our terms.
Now why didn't they have this up two weeks ago?
No, it's not negotiating in bad faith about speculating about the repercussions of a strike.

What I can't comprehend, is why a student would want to drop a class, after putting in so much work already? Not only that, but by dropping these credits, we'll have to repeat them, making our first degree much longer to complete than anticipated.
I support the CAS fully, and believe they should get what they asked for initially. I wouldn't ask them to take less because students are counting on a short strike, or that they are getting tired. One battle at a time, once the CAS gets their full request, the students will have a request for the Academic department. As the way they screwed over the teachers has now effected us students.
I take that very personally.
I have to disagree. Missing a week of class does not utterly destroy the value of a course. As the university has a responsibility to be equitable and fair to its students, it is in their best interests to NOT put up a set of options unless the situation lasts so long that these options are needed. There has been a wave of somewhat unreasonable panic from students in the wake of this; people are acting like a strike has NEVER happened at a university before, or that the situation can't possibly be resolved without ridiculous amounts of negative things affecting the students.
Yes, the strike sucks. But seriously? Calm down, chill out, give your textbook a deep read for the first time ever... So much course material is spoon fed to us these days that most of us have forgotten how to learn individually.
We don't need to panic or be irrational about this; that's not to say we shouldn't work and pressure an end to the strike. Just not to be so reactionary.
I don't think you understood my point. But okay.
