Feb 7th Day of Action
Is In 15 Days
So, Day of Action is in 15 days! I'm getting more and more excited each day - it's like a little kid counting down to Christmas or something...
Anyway, since I've spent the past couple blog posts putting up random facts about Feb. 7th Day of Action, I figured that I would put some more up today - keep that ball rolling.
Today's cool fact is... Academic Amnesty!
What is Academic Amnesty?
This refers to an agreement, which is passed at an academic education council which cites that professors cannot schedule tests on February 7, nor are they to penalise students for missing a class, lab, or grade-wise if they so choose to participate in Day of Action events.
What Institutions Have Amnesty?
- Okanagan College
- University of British Columbia (Okanagan Campus)
- College of New Caledonia
- Simon Fraser University
- Vancouver Community College
- University of Victoria
- Brandon University
- University of Manitoba
- University of Winnipeg
- Algoma University
- Carleton University
- University of Guelph

- Laurentian University
- University of Ottawa
- Queen's University
- Ryerson University
- University of Toronto (UTM, St. George, Scarborough)

Students have been granted amnesty, it should be taken advantage of! Walk out, make some noise - keep hoping that there is some light at the end of this post-secondary tunnel.
