Dear Jane,

Here is an appraisal of the situation by one of the staff members.
Regards, Jacek

Dear Colleagues,

Herewith, I would like to report that J block is as after or before disaster,
I'm just coming from Westville. After several barricades one can approach
one bounded place that will be supposed to be venue. Particularly, J5 is
absolutely empty, no chairs no anything. Further, no parking disks are ready
for staff members, no good information which parking places will be available
for staff members in this case, etc. What will happen Monday and the next
days to come, I don't want to predict, but the disorder on that campus is
already a fact with or without any strike.

If the conditions are the same, I don't think the lectures may commence as
as announced.

Best regards, Valentin Gutev
