Sask. universities likely to keep masks mandatory for fall semester Back to video Patti McDougall, vice-provost of teaching, learning and student experience at the U of S, said students should expect to see mandatory masks continue through the fall semester.

Understanding the sociological aspects of—and preventing—racist & misogynistic Zoom bombings

Photo:  Earlier this year, a virtual event hosted by the School of Religion was subject to an attack. Guest lectured by Professor Kathryn Lofton of Yale University, the event was called “The Present Life of Blasphemy: Kanye West in American Popular Culture.” The attack came after the presentation concluded when students were given the chance to ask questions. “I think people are just bored,” Carly Baldachin, ArtSci ’22, said in an interview with The Journal. She was one of the students affected by the incident. “When I first heard that this happened, again, my mind went directly thinking that this was a student,” she said. “I was really scared because I m very proudly Jewish and people know that I don t hide it.”

String of Zoom hackings across Canadian universities appear to be racially motivated

Photo:  Early in February, a Queen’s event run by the School of Religion was subject to a racist and homophobic Zoom hacking. Zoom hackings have occurred throughout Canadian post-secondary institutions since the start of the pandemic. Though the platform has implemented measures to prevent such attacks, it claims it’s extremely difficult to do so, especially in cases where a perpetrator comes from within an organization. Recently, there’s been a rise in Zoom bombings targeting universities. Many of these cases appear to be racially motivated.  Attacks have been carried out during anti-racist or cultural events at Western University, Dalhousie University, and the University of Waterloo. Two of these attacks occurred in the last month.

University students unions warn of cautious approach to future online learning

Autumn LaRose-Smith never imagined being the student union president in a time when the University of Saskatchewan campus remains largely empty due to COVID-19 restrictions. After months of Zoom meetings with students, online classes and pre-recorded video lectures, LaRose-Smith is ready to return to class in person and see some familiar faces. “One of the things we’ve been talking about with students is when I imagine the future and online learning, what students often perceive it as is to be synonymous with the pandemic,” she said. “Potentially, I might thrive in an online class where I was also able to go to a cafe with all my friends and study there or have more on-campus support, but I think pandemic online classes haven’t been the best for a lot of people.”
