Your Staff Association has received numerous concerns regarding the University of Waterloo’s decision to stay open during the February 2nd snow event.
I have been in touch with the President of the FAUW (Faculty Association of the University of Waterloo), CUPE (Local 793), FEDS (Federation of Students) and GSA (Graduate Student Association) regarding our concerns, and our plan moving forward is to work with the other employee and student groups on campus to bring about positive changes to the weather/emergency closing guidelines. We discussed the issue at the February 3rd 2015 UWSA Board of Directors meeting and I have asked that this topic be added to the agenda for this Friday’s Staff Relations Committee (SRC) meeting.
We
appreciate
the
feedback
we
have
already
received.
Your
input
is
valuable
and
I
invite
you
to
send
any
comments
about
this
topic
to
me.
I
will
be
anonymizing
your
comments
and
preparing
a
report
to
present
to
the
Provost.
Sincerely,
Carlos
Mendes, UWSA
President
