Post-secondary institutions in Saskatchewan are encouraging people who will be on campus this fall to mask and stay up to date with vaccinations, but they are not imposing COVID-19 related mandates.
A letter sent to employees of the technical school was signed by 17 union members who say they are "being discriminated against, coerced and intimidated by management and left hung out to dry by their unions."
Three months after a malware attack invaded its systems, Saskatchewan Polytechnic still has some cleaning up to do before it can be back to normal.
At the end of October, an attachment containing malware was opened from an email at Saskatchewan Polytechnic. The school was notified and quickly shut down all of its systems.
Since then, the school has slowly been bringing things back on line, with services to continue classes a priority.
“Our top priority has always been our students and their learning experience,” said Cheryl Schmitz, chief financial officer and vice-president of administrative services at Saskatchewan Polytechnic.
Schmitz said the school is committed to offering an education in a safe and secure manner.
