Open Letter to the Board of Directors

Graduate Student Association



Recently I overheard that the Management of the
Grad House said that as of May, the Grad House
will no longer be open on Sundays.

Such comment brings up several questions:

   i What is the exact current state of such 
     decision.
  ii On which basis was the closure of the Grad
     House decided/proposed.
 iii Why are decisions regarding the Grad House
     made without ample consultation with the
     patrons. (After all most of other GSA 
     actions are taken after polls have been
     held through the Latest)


I hereby call the Board of Directors to delay
any decision regarding the closure of the
Graduate House on Sundays until a consultation 
process is held. 

This process must go beyond the question:
"do you go to the GH on sundays?".  It should
question why the Management of the GH is unable
to attract to its facilities a noticeable 
portion of the Grad Communiut of the UofW.
The question should be "what does the GH has
to offer to make it the place you want to go
for lunch/at the end of the day/for a drink/
or to celebrate your defence?"



                          Sincerely yours,
     

                          Alex Lopez-Ortiz

                          Graduate Student
