Please read this email that was sent out to all students and staff today. It will make your day much better.

“When the campus safety committee met earlier this month one of the items discussed was winter weather safety around campus.  In particular we discussed ice on the Grand Stair Case and how to prevent injuries from falls on icy steps.  After discussing several possible ways of dealing with this issue we came up the following plan for the winter months:

The Grand Stair Case will be closed for use and flagged off when icy conditions develop in order to prevent injuries from slipping on icy steps.  The office of Campus Safety and Security, in conjunction with Facilities,  will close off the Grand Stair Case with yellow caution tape suspended by traffic pylons as needed.  The need for closing the stair case to foot traffic will be evaluated on a daily basis.  The caution tape will be removed when the icy conditions dissipate.

The campus safety committee hopes this action does not incontinence the campus community too greatly.  The pathway to the west of the stair case will have snow removal and will be treated with a de-icer as needed.  Your safety and the safety of visitors to campus is our goal.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Thank you.   “

If you missed it, go back and read it again. It is worth it.

I just about died when I read that.

A retraction followed.

“Obviously I cannot spell, and I even had someone else proof read the message for me.  In the last paragraph, please consider the issue of incontinence as INCONVENIENCE.  Sorry for the spelling error.  Enjoy the laugh.”

Well it takes class to have such a great sense of humor.

That is all.

Sincerely,

Emilie
