John:
The sad thing, is if we had had a week's notice, APO & LSC could have
given the contractor much more working space in W20-454.
I don't know who Mike Foley is. But the senior administration expects
all staff to treat all Alumni with respect.
It seems absurd to me to expect students to respond to this kind of
request in less than a day. Especially in the summer, when many
students are off-campus.
Perhaps you should talk with several Deans, and see if they understand
these absurdities. If yes, see if they can get the CAC to change it's
policies, give more notice, and otherwise improve communication with
students.
I'm going to ask the APO students to change the way these incoming
emails are handled, so the APO officers/managers concerned with space,
i.e. W20-415 and W20-454 get the emails directly.

I received some very rude oral (or so it seemed to me) pushback from
Mike Foley on that email today. <<Who am *I* to make such a request of
HIS MANAGER?>>, etc.
Though apparently the dumpster is there for other serendipitous purposes.
I haven't quite figured out how to respond, but I'd sort of be happy if
someone else supported me on this one.
