Dear Students-
I have had several emails from concerned students who have been following the news reports of terrorist threats against our city on the anniversary of 9/11. As you all should know, we are scheduled to attend a street theater fair in Washington Square Park at 2 PM on that day. The performance has not been canceled, and will go on as scheduled.
I believe that it will be safe for us to attend the performance, however, I would not want any student to feel that they had to choose between their personal safety and a grade. Therefore, if you do not wish to attend the performance on Sunday because you are concerned about these reports, you are excused from attending, and you will not be penalized in any way.
I will still be attending the performance with any and all students who wish to go. WE will still meet as planned in front of the Bobst Library at NYU at 1:50 (please see the previous announcement and emails for details).
As a safety precaution, I feel that I must have an accurate list of who is and who is not attending the performance so that all students are accounted for. Please email me at meghanhealey@hotmail.com by midnight tomorrow (Saturday 9/10) to tell me whether or not you are going to attend the performance, and include a cell phone number so you can be located if we are separated.
Thank you, and I will see those of you that attend on Sunday, and the rest of you on Monday morning for class.
