York University prevents media from filming sit-in, kicks out reporter

On Monday, December 15, 2008, York University undergraduate and graduate workers and students started a sit-in outside York President Shoukris office. At 7 p.m. the same day, York University security guards kicked-out a City TV reporter from the sit-in. York University security guards have consistently not been allowing media into the sit-in.

The participants of the sit-in have two demands for President Shoukri: (1) That he sign a commitment to hold and speak at a public forum about the strike in the first week of January; (2) That he answer 12 questions on camera to the sit-in participants.
