PLEASE HELP support access to education for marginalised students (Petition)

The Association for Part-Time Undergraduate Students (APUS) at the University of Toronto was recently given an eviction notice by Woodsworth College. This College was originally built in order to ensure access and support for part-time students, but in recent years has been more and more away from that mandate. During this time, APUS has been very vocal and successful in representing the rights of its students, and it is suspected that this eviction is a political move by the university administration to silence dissent within its community. No alternative space has been offered.

Thanks for your support in helping send a strong message that schools should serve their students first!

Carita !
I signed but there wasnt any place where one could put "strong message" as you said besides a small comment box and most of people put al ine or two in signatures anyway. So i dont see where one could put a strong letter or a bit lengthy message.
Plus i agree with JPK on the need to have more details to be able to give a realistic advice!
Good luck
H.

What reason did the university give for the eviction? What term of notice? How many members are there in APUS? What sort of advocacy is APUS engaged in which would induce the university of evict you?
Just interested in a little more detail before offering any advice.
