The university has overturned the decision and Chris is back in class. This result proves that organized collective action forces institutions to listen. Keep a close watch on university policy to ensure this never happens to another student again.

Ryerson needs to get with the times. Facebook is a tool for learning just like a library. They ruined his grade over nothing.
The school is just looking for a scapegoat. Using a group chat is not cheating, it is called networking.
TOTAL GARBAGE. They are just trying to flex their power. Chris did nothing wrong.
wow, i would be so mad if this happened in my class. study groups are for sharing ideas and helping each other out. let him back in.
If they start failing everyone who talks about classwork online they wont have any students left. ridiculous.
