More than 75 faculty members, staff and students at San Diego State University packed an open forum Wednesday, April 3, to demand answers of campus leadership about noxious odors that have sickened many since January.
Editordude: From an earlier post:
The odors arose from a chemical used during roof repairs to the Professional Studies and Fine Arts building, which was closed on March 13 — six weeks after the university was told of the problem and began air monitoring tests. Students and professors who occupied the building despite the smells said the university did a poor job of notifying them or giving them options. inewsource.com
They also complained to university officials, including President Adela de la Torre, about the poor communication surrounding the situation at the Professional Studies and Fine Arts (PSFA) building. It was closed on March 13 — six weeks after the university was told of odors from a chemical used during roof repairs and it began air monitoring tests.
At least 22 people have filed reports with the university since January, documenting illnesses, such as sore throats, itchy eyes, nausea, headaches and nosebleeds. The forum was called in response to questions and complaints, but it was scheduled during spring break when the campus is all but vacated. Another meeting is to occur on Monday, April 8.
