Re: “Where in the world is Emily Rowe?” Nov. 11, 2009

To the editor:

A recent letter to the editor asked where the University Students’ Council president, Emily Rowe, has been. I wonder if the letter writer has asked her. I did. She’s been in meetings with the LTC and the University, developing plans to assist students getting to school during the strike. However, I didn’t need to ask her. That’s clearly stated in the press release on the USC website, here: http://www.usc.uwo.ca/ltc.asp.

It is no secret I don’t always agree with Emily and remain critical of her in many regards. However, on the LTC strike, I do believe that Emily and the USC have been doing the best they can in terrible circumstances and will continue to do so. The LTC has put students in a terrible position and it is unfair to criticize Emily when a few seconds on Google shows otherwise.
