Subject: Re: Incident Oct. 3

I learned of this from a family member on social media. I was stunned not to have heard of it from SFU. I would like to know what type of first aid and consoling services the students were/are being provided. I would also know if there are ways that we as faculty can be trained to cope with such situations.

Please let me / us know if your inquiries get anywhere and, if not, whom we can also pressure to get answers.

Best wishes,

Nancy

I completely agree. I contacted Mark Lalonde, the university’s risk manager, asking why no statement has gone out. So far, I have not received a response. Very disappointing.

Dear colleagues,

We are getting media reports of a serious, violent incident more than a week ago during an SFU English class. As far as I am aware, neither faculty, nor our students, have been informed about this event by university administrators, at any level. In my opinion this is shocking, and incompetent. Our students are asking questions on social media as to why they have been kept in the dark.

For what it's worth. JDF
