Rant EVM, Sept. 2
I hope UST takes into serious consideration the current situation along NLEX, where even parents are hoping that the University will not put their children through hours of potentially difficult and unsafe commuting. While travel times may vary, as per some advisories, travel time can extend up to 10 hours due to current conditions and recent weather changes. Given that many of the affected areas might also experience rain today, the University is obligated to exercise its discretion and make a decision ahead of time rather than waiting for conditions to worsen.
Additionally, the current air quality index has already been classified as "acutely unhealthy". In-person learning continuation should not come at the expense of students, professors, and faculty's safety and health.
I also call on the UST Central Student Council, if it has not yet done so, to coordinate with the University administration regarding this matter and provide students with timely updates if the admin has yet to respond.
Thank you.
