Letter to the University of Massachusetts Boston Chancellor:
The Boston Globe article "Falling elevators, raw hamburger, lax security at UMass Boston dorms" is a serious check on the trust, confidence, and enthusiasm I have for my son's continuing attendance at UMB. I do not expect new facilities to be without flaws. Nevertheless, a step to regaining the community's trust in the joint venture between UMB, Capstone, and Sodexo is to make public all the service and repair work orders, actions toward, resolutions of, and all other timeline details. Collecting and presenting this information every 24 hours would allow us all to see the extent of the problems and the pace of resolution. Let us see that Capstone and Sodexo put the health and safety of the students over profits and that UMB is a good steward.
Your truly,
Andrew Gilmartin
