Well it seems my digging around will have to continue (*tear*). I received a reply from McMaster Security with regards to the McMaster Health Initiatives which they are supposed to be enforcing by preventing students from sleeping in public areas. To summarize / paraphrase (since I can’t get into MUSS right now grrr): “We’ve not been informed that we were supposed to be doing such a thing.”
Fishy doesn’t even begin to describe this conundrum. On the one hand, someone is printing posters and hanging them in the ITB lounge saying security will be involved if the rule is broken. Leading students to believe that this is something security will look for. On the other, those who are supposedly enforcing this rule have not been told they will be.
It seems to be some laser-printer-happy-go-lucky staff member somewhere in ITB, printed off these signs (with nice happy apple borders) and just put them of for S&G (Shits and Giggles). That is my hypothesis given the information I am privy to.
I will be contacting the Public Relations Office (or w/e the F it’s called) to see if they can shed some light on these Health Initiatives. Feel free to suggest places I could contact that would deal with such a thing.
(I’m sure this will all blow over once students retake their campus but for now this keeps me entertained…well this and the ongoing battle of the numbskulls aka asking the registrar to do something for me)
