Holding FSOCC the day after a highly contentious, and potentially unsafe, election is concerning. Many of us, as DEOs, need to be on our campuses during this time to be responsive and supportive of our communities no matter the results of the election. I know
that for me, I'm unwilling to be a plane ride away at that point in time and I have serious concerns about sending anyone from our college into a potentially harmful area in that specific moment. </div>

You can see from the email below that I sent a message to Gum-Lai who was chair previously, but I have not heard back from her. Beabe from my team is out on leave until at least mid-August, and Judy from BC has not been included in any planning meetings thus
far. I'm working without any other information from the planners and I have less than two working weeks before I'm away for 4 months. </div>

I share this with you all for consideration and coordination. As a college we will make a decision with or without input from the planners before I go on leave beginning 4/24. Michelle Strange from my team will serve as Acting VP DEI in my absence and is copied
on this message should you all want to continue conversations about this. </div>

Good afternoon friends! Reaching out to both of you since I know Gum-Lai has been co-chair and Judith has been part of planning for FSOCC. We have some concerns about safety and need for presence on our campuses given the political volatility of this upcoming
election. Specifically, safety concerns for faculty and staff of color the day following this election as well as the days leading up to this election.</p>

We would like to find time in the next couple weeks to have a quick conversation with the two of you and any other members of the planning committee as we plan ahead for the next academic year, the budget for next AY, and determine the level of safety and support
available for this conference as that will determine how and what we communicate with our community.</p>
