Excerpt from WDTN
Wright State University is back in session despite a looming faculty strike set for January 22.
During the first week of classes, students will get a syllabus from their professor. The syllabus will serve as a schedule for the class to follow during the term.
However, the professors handing out the syllabus are not expected to report to class next week.
WSU says they will be able to replace over 500 faculty members during a strike, should it happen.
Students have mixed feelings and wish the issue could be resolved when students are not in class.
"All of the provosts get paid a lot more. The president gets paid a lot. The professors don't make — they make enough, but compared to the top they don't make a lot," said Jacob Purdon and WSU student.
"I believe that they (the faculty) deserve it. It just kind of sucks that we are put in the middle of it as students. There should of been a compromise by now," said Airelle McQueen.
If they choose to have no part of this upcoming strike, students have three days to withdraw from classes.
That leaves students paying for something they didn't ask for and potentially forcing them to make life-changing decisions.
"It would be such a pain to just leave. Transferring credits and all that good stuff. I actually really do love my campus," said McQueen.
