| Attached is President Petter’s response to the letter we signed.
I understand that the delegation at met with the Board of Governors this morning had a positive reception and received considerable sympathy about the dilemna especially for students with families.
Clearly there is more work to do on this and Teresa and Elise are talking about faculty participation for future action. If anyone would like to help, I am sure that would be welcome.
Please pass the President’s letter on to anyone you contacted to sign it.
Best,
Marjorie

Dear Administrators:
I have attached a letter signed by 165 faculty members about the crisis regarding the Louis Riel House closure. These signatures were collected yesterday in support of the SFU administration providing continued housing at SFU for those displaced by this closure.
Could you please see that it is received by the President and members of the Board of Governors.
Sincerely,
Marjorie
