Some Rutgers University classes were either canceled or nearly empty on Monday, according to students.
the reality for students caught in the middle of the bitter contract dispute reflected the chaos of some cancellations and a mixed bag of communication.
Some professors have made classes virtual for the remainder of the semester, students said. The last scheduled day of classes for the spring semester is May 1. Final exams are slated to run from May 4 to 10. Some students received a standard message from professors about class cancellations, said Aishwarya Sabharwal, 21, a sophomore from Watchung.
Collegiate life largely hummed along on College Avenue as students hopped on and off buses, backpacks loaded and headphones on. For some, the picket line was a novelty to gawk at. Dozens of students stopped to take photos of the growing protest, while others took the chance to sunbathe on the grassy area across the road and watch.
Demilade Adeoti, a freshman business major, went to her economic class Monday morning, but was one of only a few students who did.Sophomore Abiel Ghebre said he already has had an exam canceled and while he supports the strike, he’s concerned about how the semester will be resolved for students.
