Hi all,
As co-coordinators, Rachel & I are working hard to remain tuned in and engaged with the copious and often heated conversations that take place over SRRT's Connect spaces. Please understand that we are also each employed in full-time jobs that demand a great deal of our time, attention, and energy throughout the day, and it can be challenging to balance SRRT volunteer work with those demands. So while our responses on Connect may be delayed at times, please know that we do care, we are listening, and we are doing our best.
With particular regard to the latest discussions & debate around the ALA program assessment, we will confer with one another and any other advisory parties who may be able to provide additional information/resources. Once we have a clearer picture of where things stand and what options may be at our disposal, we will come back here to Connect to address as many concerns as we can.
In the meantime, we would encourage ongoing constructive discussion, and request that folks please try to refrain from escalations such as yelling (i.e. all-caps), assumptions regarding anyone's values or priorities, etc.
Thank you for your patience, and please stay tuned for more soon,
Olivia & Rachel
