I have a question about the cancer concern surrounding Wescoe Hall. A Kansas University official said: "If individual faculty feel that they don't want to be in the building, we can make accommodations for them. If somebody really has serious concerns, we wouldn't, obviously, force them to go into that building." My question is: Does this include all employees in Wescoe who have serious concerns? There are other people working in Wescoe who are not faculty. Will these people also be accommodated?
