I do not agree with Len.
Involving faculty and deans over something like this is way too much
like crying wolf and overmanufacturing a crisis. I think CAC merely
needs to here consistently from more relevant stakeholders that more
notice is important on these things, and it helps to have multiple
voices saying the same thing. While there's a case to be made for
perhaps talking to Phil Walsh (head of CAC) or maaaaaaybe Leah Flynn
(Assoc. Dean for Student Activities), going any higher than that is
likely to generate more ill will and re-entrenchment, in my
estimation, and isn't necessarily wise in of itself.
If anything was actually damaged I suppose I'd feel differently.
