Memorial University students in St. John’s ‘a little hopeless’ over potential strike | SaltWire

Laughter Afolabi, Victory Aifuwa and Success Aifuwa are students from Nigeria in their final year of mechanical engineering at Memorial University in St. John's. - Andrew Waterman • SaltWire NetworkST. JOHN'S, N.L. — They understand and are supportive, but some students who spoke to SaltWire Network are feeling stressed, uncertain and nervous after 90 per cent of Memorial University of Newfoundland Faculty Association members voted in favour of authorizing a strike.

All three support MUNFA in its effort and hope professors get what they’re asking for or the two parties come to some middle ground. “Given that we’re final-year students, we’re applying for jobs … so this is not what we want to be doing right now,” Aifuwa said. “The teachers deserve the salaries that other universities are getting, but if it comes back on us, then I don’t think that’s fair to the students,” said Lacour-Thistle. “It feels a little hopeless because there’s not a lot we can do about it as students. We’re paying for the university. We’re three years into our program and there’s not much we can do about it. We just have to buckle down and take whatever comes.
