We call on uOttawaâs 7 other faculties to follow suit.We call on the University of Ottawa to work with us on a mutually agreeable framework for virtual learning in the Fall 2020 semester, taking into account affordability, asynchronous delivery of classes and the extension of compassionate academic regulations.
