York University was established in 1959 as a non-denominational institution by the York University Act,[5] which received royal assent in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario on 26 March of that year.[6] Its first class was held in September 1960 in Falconer Hall on the University of Toronto campus with a total of 76 students.[7] In the fall of 1961, York moved to its first campus, Glendon College, which was leased from U of T, and began to emphasize liberal arts and part-time adult education.[6] In 1965, the university opened a second campus, the Keele Campus, in North York, within the neighbourhood community now called York University Heights.

Over the last twenty years, York has become a centre for labour strife with several faculty and other strikes occurring,[8][9][10][11][2][12] including the longest university strike in Canadian history in 2018.

History
York University Faculty Members, 1961

York University was established in 1959 as a non-denominational institution by the York University Act,[5] which received Royal Assent in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario on 26 March of that year.[6] Its first class was held in September 1960 in Falconer Hall on the University of Toronto campus with a total of 76 students.[7]

The policy of university education initiated in the 1960s responded to population pressure and the belief that higher education was a key to social justice and economic productivity for individuals and for society.[6] The governance was modelled on the provincial University of Toronto Act of 1906, which established a bicameral system of university government consisting of a senate (faculty), responsible for academic policy, and a board of governors (citizens) exercising exclusive control over financial policy and having formal authority in all other matters. The president, appointed by the board, was to provide a link between the two bodies and to perform institutional leadership.[6]

In the fall of 1961, York moved to its first campus, Glendon College, and began to emphasize liberal arts and part-time adult education.[6] York became independent in 1965, after an initial period of affiliation with the University of Toronto (U of T), under the York University Act, 1965.[13] Its main campus on the northern outskirts of Toronto opened in 1965.[7]

Murray Ross, who continues to be honoured today at the university in several ways – including the Murray G. Ross Award – was still vice-president of U of T when he was approached to become York University's new president.[14] At the time, York University was envisaged as a feeder campus to U of T, until Ross's powerful vision led it to become a completely separate institution.[15]

In 1965, the university opened a second campus, the Keele Campus, in North York, in the Jane and Finch community.[16] The Glendon campus became a bilingual liberal arts college led by Escott Reid, who envisaged it as a national institution to educate Canada's future leaders, a vision shared by Prime Minister Lester Pearson, who formally opened Glendon College in 1966.[16]

The first Canadian undergraduate program in dance opened at York University in 1970.[14] In 1972, Canada Post featured the nascent institution on 8¢ stamps, entitled York University Campus, North York, Ont.[17] The first Canadian PhD program in women's studies opened with five candidates in January 1992.[14]

Its bilingual mandate and focus on the liberal arts continue to shape Glendon's special status within York University.[18] The new Keele Campus was regarded as somewhat isolated, in a generally industrialized part of the city. Petrol storage facilities are still across the street. Some of the early architecture was unpopular with many, not only for the brutalist designs, but the vast expanses between buildings, which was not viewed as suitable for the climate. In the last two decades, the campus has been intensified with new buildings, including a dedicated student centre and new fine arts, computer science and business administration buildings, a small shopping mall, and a hockey arena. The Aviva Centre tennis stadium, built in 2004, is a perennial host of the Canada Masters tennis tournament. As Toronto has spread further out, York has found itself in a relatively central location within the built-up Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and in particular, near the Jane and Finch neighbourhood. Its master plan envisages a denser on-campus environment commensurate with that location. Students occupied the university's administration offices in March 1997, protesting escalating tuition hikes.[14]

In June 2014, the university announced that a new campus would be constructed in Markham, Ontario.[19] The campus will be built near Highway 407, between Kennedy Road and Warden Avenue in partnership with Seneca College.[20] The new campus would house approximately 4,200 students[21] and is anticipated to accommodate up to 10,000 students in future phases.[22] On May 20, 2015, the provincial government announced it will provide financial contribution to this new project.[23]

On October 24, 2018, the provincial government announced it would pull its funding for the campus, along with funding for the planned satellite campuses of Laurier University and Ryerson University.[24][25] After this cancellation of funding for the Markham project, York University and its partners planned to seek alternative funding.[26] In July 2020, the provincial government allowed plans for the university to go through.

The Faculty of Environmental & Urban Change is the oldest and largest environmental studies faculty in Canada.[50] From 1999 to 2018, York University offered the first and largest graphic design program in Ontario York/Sheridan Design (YSDN).[51] It was a four-year University degree delivered jointly by the two leading educational institutions of design in Canada (York University and Sheridan College). The joint program has been discontinued and beginning with the class entering in 2019, four-year design students will enrol in a new Bachelor of Design offered by York University, one which is geared for the future of the profession.[52]

The Osgoode Hall Law School moved from a downtown location to the York campus in 1969, following the requirement that every law school affiliate with a university.[53] Osgoode Hall offers a number of joint and combined programs.[54]

Student unions and organizations

York University is home to over 350 student clubs.[66] A number of larger student organizations are supported by student levy fees. These include the local chapters of the social justice group OPIRG, and Regenesis, an environmental organization on campus that runs farmers' markets at the Keele and Glendon campuses, a free store, a community bike centre and an borrowing centre.

The Village at York University

The Village at York University[67] off-campus student housing area has become a popular area of accommodation for many upper-year and post-graduate students, and the area has had a large amount of attention particularly for large parties hosted by students, including the annual Battle of the Village kegger held in March. There have also been many reports of the level of noise pollution from late-night parties from students living in the area.[68] Safety has also been a pressing issue.[69]

Campus media

Excalibur has been the university's autonomous student newspaper since 1966. In 2008, the YU Free Press was formed as an alternative campus newspaper.[70] Existere is magazine published by students of the university's professional writing program. The magazine was first published in 1978.[71]

YorkU Magazine (est. 2003) is the official magazine of York University. It is published 3 times a year in both a print and digital format.

Athletics
York University vs University of Guelph

The university is represented in U Sports by the York Lions. Beginning in 1968 York's sporting teams were known as the "Yeomen", after the Yeomen Warders, the guardians of the fortress and palace at the Tower of London, otherwise known as Beefeaters. Later, the name "Yeowomen" was introduced to encourage women to participate in sports. Popular sentiment ran against this name scheme, however, as many students were fond of noting that a "Yeowoman" was fictitious, neither a real word nor having any historical merit. In 2003, after conducting an extensive internal study, the university replaced both names with the "Lions", as part of a larger renaming effort, and a new logo, now a white and red lion, was brought into line with the university's new visual scheme. The name change also brought York University in line with the 92% of other Canadian universities which use a single name for both sexes' sports teams. Ironically, students often refer to the female Lions teams as the "York Lionesses", even though the name "Lion" is intended to apply to both sexes.[72]

York offers 29 interuniversity sport teams, 12 sport clubs, 35 intramural sport leagues, special events and 10 pick-up sport activities offered daily.

York University has several athletic facilities, some of which are used for major tournaments. These include a football stadium, 4 gymnasia, 5 sport playing fields, 4 softball fields, 9 outdoor tennis courts, 5 squash courts, 3 dance/aerobic studios, 6 ice arenas, a swimming pool, an expanding fitness centre and the new Aviva Centre (home of the Rogers Tennis Cup).

In 2014 the York Lions won four banners: the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) men's national track and field championship, the Ontario University Athletics women's provincial tennis championship and both the OUA and CIS men's soccer titles. York will be hosting the 2015 CIS Men's Soccer Championships at York Stadium November, 2015.[73] In 2015 and 2016 York Lions Women's Tennis team won the Canadian University National Championships.[74] The volleyball team has been coached by, among others, Olympian Sam Schachter.[75][76][77]

Fight song

Notable among a number of songs commonly played and sung at various events such as commencement and convocation, and athletic games are: "York Song", sung to the tune "Harvard".[78]

Fraternities and sororities

Fraternities and sororities are not recognized by York University.[79]

Phi Delta Phi (ΦΔΦ) international legal fraternity, at Osgoode Law School, was given special dispensation when the law school became part of the university, as the fraternity's history with the law school dated back to 1896, and is recognized at York.

Antisemitism

York University has had multiple instances of antisemitism on campus.[80][81] In 2016, faculty member Nikolaos Balaskas was fired from the university after Hillel Ontario said that Balaskas made antisemitic social media posts.[82][83][84] The posts accused Jews of controlling the media as well as being involved in the September 11 attacks.[82][83][84] The university has also had multiple instances of antisemitic graffiti on and near campus.[85][86][87][88] In 2017, police investigated after students found swastikas and an antisemitic statement on a chalkboard at the front of a classroom.[85][86] In 2022, graffiti found on a garage wall near to the campus incited passerbys to "shoot Jews in the head" along with an antisemitic caricature.[87][81] A suspect was later arrested and charged.[88]

In 2019, a student group at York University hosted two reservists of the Israel Defence Forces in a panel discussion.[89][80][90] The group Students Against Israeli Apartheid violently protested the event, chanting "viva viva intifada".[89][80][90] Premier Doug Ford condemned what he said was a "hate-filled protest" and mayor John Tory condemned anti-Semitism in general.[89][90] The university investigated the events and condemned violent protests as well as antisemitism.[80] In 2023, the York Federation of Students, York University Graduate Students' Association, and Glendon College Student Union faced significant criticism after endorsing Hamas' attacks on Israeli civilians during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.[91][92][93] York University itself condemned the statement issued by the student union.[91][92][93]

Notable people
Main article: List of York University people

Labour disruptions
Main articles: 2008–09 York University strike and 2018 York University strike

York University has a history of faculty and teaching assistant strikes. In 1997, there was a faculty strike by YUFA[100] that lasted seven weeks. At the time, this was the second longest strike in Canadian University history.[101]

Key issues in the strike included retirement, funding, and institutional governance. In 2001, teaching assistants and contract faculty went on strike for 11 weeks, when the university broke its own record.[102] The central issue in the 2001 disruption was the administration's proposed attempts to remove tuition indexation language.

2008 CUPE 3903 Strike
Main article: 2008–09 York University strike

A strike beginning on November 6, 2008[103] concerned a variety of institutional grievances, including job security for contract professors, elimination of the Non-Academic Student Code of Conduct, creation of whistleblower protection, and fund indexation. On January 20, 2009, CUPE 3903 defeated a forced ratification vote that would have ended the strike. On January 24, Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty announced a rare Sunday recall of the provincial legislature in order to pass back-to-work legislation mandating an immediate end to the strike.[104] On January 29, the York University Labour Disputes Resolution Act was passed in the provincial parliament on a count of 42–8 ending the long 85-day strike and setting a precedent for future university strikes in Ontario.

2015 CUPE 3903 Strike

An additional strike by teaching assistants, contract faculty, and graduate assistants took place throughout March 2015. When the strike began, on March 2, the university cancelled nearly all classes because about 2/3 of York courses were taught by the striking contract faculty at the time. On March 10, the contract faculty ratified a new agreement, but the teaching assistants and graduate assistants rejected tentative agreements the bargaining team had reached with the university. The teaching assistants and graduate assistants, continued their strike until the end of the month. Contract faculty did not go back to work in support of the union and classes remained cancelled. The union reached a tentative agreement with the university on March 29, 2015, which was ratified on March 31, 2015, thus putting an immediate end to the 29-day strike.[105]

2018 CUPE 3903 Strike
Main article: 2018 York University strike

Units 1, 2, and 3 of CUPE Local 3903, the union represented by teaching assistants, contract faculty, and graduate assistants, began striking on Monday, March 5, 2018; several months after their previous collective agreement expired on August 31, 2017. The union's aim was to, in their words, "secure a fair collective agreement that, among other things, protected quality education and creates a less precarious working environment in Ontario's university sector."[106] The main issues of the strike revolved around job security and the path to permanent tenured employment for contract faculty. A forced ratification vote was held between April 6–9 and was rejected by an overwhelming majority by all three units. [107] On June 13, a ratification vote was held for Unit 2 members, where the union executives recommended voting against the university's offer.[108] The results of the vote were thrown out due to the fact that there were more ballots cast than signatures of eligible voters.[109] A re-vote was held on June 14 and 15, where Unit 2 ratified the university's offer, with 239 members voting in favour, and 122 opposed. Units 1 and 3 remained on strike until July 25, when the newly formed 42nd Parliament of Ontario led by Premier Doug Ford passed back-to-work legislation via the Urgent Priorities Act, ending the strike after 143 days, making it the longest strike in the post-secondary sector in Canadian history.
