Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
On Sept. 13, those of us who use the locker room in the Coliseum were met with a notice on the door that basically stated, "This locker room will close on Oct. 1, 2010... get your stuff out by then or we'll throw it away."
The group of faculty that I've been exercising with for the last 25 years all had the same reaction: Why the "top-down edict" without any offer to discuss the decision and consider options?
Shouldn't the University be supportive of informal physical exercise of faculty, staff and students that promotes fitness, decreases stress and builds camaraderie?
I have greatly benefited by such exercise and find it amazing and disturbing that the powers that be didn't solicit the opinions of locker room users.
How does this fit with the new "Healthy Tiger" Program?
How about some transparency and consideration?
