The much hoped-for end to the strike of professors and others at York University has not occurred. One unit of contract faculty has voted to accept the offer of the university and two units representing graduates and teaching assistants have voted to reject it. This outcome has produced total confusion. There is no informed view on just what it means and who, if anyone, will be at work Tuesday. Clearly, many will not be at work and that means students remain up in the air on the outlook for their school year. Other unexpected details, the teachers who voted to accept the offer will have to decide whether they should now cross the picket line of their colleagues tomorrow. It is not a pretty nor particularly rational picture.
