🌳Mental Health Hike Wednesday at 1PM🌳 📍 The walk is ~1 hour. We’ll keep a comfortable pace, and you’re welcome to take breaks or participate as much/little as you need. The route is paved and has park benches for resting. Link for accommodation in our bio❤️

Today, in-person exams begin at @OsgoodeNews and, frankly, it frightens me that the administration is continuing to hold the line that "academic integrity" is a more weighty consideration than our safety and that of our communities #UnsafeAtOsgoode
Disability Justice Network of Ontario@djnontario11 Apr 2022
The Ontario Ministry of Health Update today was just a further entrenchment of normalized deaths. Ten children have died from COVID-19, two are in ICUs right now. These were children, who died because @fordnation failed to protect them.

Admin is saying that we can't do online exams because of "academic integrity" but I'm supposed to trust that everyone filled out their COVID screen honestly despite ENORMOUS incentive to fudge things so they can write their exam...

I'm going to be paying for a cab to take me from downtown to York because of the risks of transit. I'm terrified of catching COVID at my exam and infecting my grandmother who wants to see me for Easter.

In light of the recent surge in COVID-19 cases across Ontario, and outbreaks within Osgoode cohorts/events over the past week, Law Students for Safe Learning calls on Osgoode administration to provide remote access to ALL Winter 2022 exams. Read more: lawstudentsforsafelearning.s…

Students with disabilities have had to fight tooth and nail for basic accommodations over the past two years. To pile on this added burden, demanding additional labour from them just as they enter their finals is cruel and discriminatory. @LawSocietyLSO
Ali Imrie@aliimrie8 Apr 2022
While my main concern with the @LawSocietyLSO’s abrupt licensing exam changes is covid safety, the mandated shift to in-person exams is also really frustrating in that it forces me to completely restart the accommodation process, and means my access needs can’t as easily be met.

Further, changing the exam format last minute forces disabled students to redo the accommodation process, as their needs may differ for in-person exams. This puts an additional undue burden on disabled students in an already difficult and stressful process.

@LawSocietyLSO has shown zero regard for the safety and well-being of students w/ disabilities. The mandate to write in-person while case numbers skyrocket is discriminatory, ablelist, and heartless. Pls read & share the below statement from @ozdisabilityco

We are extremely concerned about the @LawSocietyLSO’s decision to change the date of the summer licensing exams and to mandate that exams be written in person—and particularly about the impact that these changes will have on students with disabilities.

We call on the @LawSocietyLSO to revert to the original licensing exam dates and to allow all students to write exams remotely. As disabled students, we are far too familiar with the ableism in the legal profession already, and we hope the LSO will not continue to perpetuate it.
