Abstract	During a faculty strike at York University (Ontario), two telephone surveys were undertaken to assess student perceptions of the strike. The first survey was taken during the fifth and sixth weeks of the strike, with the objective of documenting the experiences of students while the strike was on. The questionnaire for this survey was developed with the help of input from student focus groups. The second, undertaken 5 months after the strike, measured post-strike experiences and attitudes. Respondents for the first survey included 502 randomly selected full-time undergraduate students in several disciplines; in the second survey 83 percent of the original students were reinterviewed. This report, digested from the complete report, briefly describes the survey's methodology and results, noting the effect the strike had on student schedules, academic achievement, and course completion; its economic impact; and student attitudes towards faculty and staff. It also measured degree of support for the union. The post-strike survey showed effects enduring well beyond the strike period. Although an insignificant number of students left York University because of the strike, a slim majority remained bitter about the conflict; student satisfaction with academic programs remained lower than before the strike.
