Snow and SIUC

Letter from a visually impaired student decrying the opening of campus two days after the big storm is interesting. However, what's REALLY interesting is the comment below, apparently from a member of the groundskeeping staff:

Let me just say that every student on this campus has the right to be extremely angry with the decisions made. But, there is more to this than what you guys are covering. Find out why, up until last year, this campus was always kept free of snow and ice, no matter how large the storm. Find out who made the decision to force the groundsworkers to go home during the storm for the second straight year. Find out why we were not allowed to fight this storm until it was all over with. Decisions are being made that merit investigating. 3 people are making the decisions resulting in this winter weather fiasco. They need to be exposed, as do their feelings regarding the safety of the students. Do not let this topic die!!! I implore you.....and yes, I am speaking from inside the dept responsible. For obvious reasons, I need others to follow up on this. The information is available. Ask the right questions. Research how snow removal was done in the past which was so successful, up until last year.
