Wording of St.FX COVID-19 waiver to change, says cabinet minister
St. Francis Xavier University were asked to sign before they could attend classes during the COVID-19 pandemic.Labi Kousoulis said he talked earlier this week with student leaders who are negotiating with the university over the waiver and seeking to have its wording changed or replaced by a code of conduct.The original waiver required students give up potential legal claims of “negligence, breach of contract, or breach of any statutory or other duty of care,” even if the university fails to take reasonable steps to safeguard them from COVID-19 risks.
