Dear Friends,<br><br>I just got this email from Arlene that the building air supply may be cut off due to construction work. Was that a real mail?<br><br>I have a class with 70+ students (in a room with official capacity of 52). Already, many sitting in the back cannot hear me as ear splitting noise suddenly appears because of work by contractor. The room does not have a PA system for me to use either. In my 18+ years here, this is the first time I have seen such major construction work during regular semester time. Students are quite upset about it and justifiably so. Now you are telling me that they may be cut off from oxygen <br>
<br>Without knowing the details, I must say that those who planned this work forgot what is the main mission of a university. If any business treats its customer like we are treating our students these days, it will go bankrupt in no time.<br>
<br>I would hope that the college administration finds out how long this will last and inform us so that we can apologize to our students for the current state of affairs.<br><br>Best,<br><br>Sooby<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>According to Work Control, there will be no air flow in the
engineering building due to work being done by the contractor. Work Control was
unable to say how long this will be.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks, Arlene</p>
