<div dir="ltr">All,<div>I just got off the phone with our attorney and the CPS attorney. The bottom line is that this is coming out of the office of Talent (Alicia Winckler) and the delays in attorney communication are related to the timeliness of Talent in responding to the attorney. We had a nice conversation where the NEIU attorney made it clear that we will be sending our students on Tuesday. I told her that we are meeting on Tuesday morning at 7 and will have a document to send to them by noon. I apologized if working through the attorneys was not the right venue (she suggested that we should have asked for a meeting with Alicia) and told her that on Tuesday, I would send our concerns directly to Alicia with a copy to her and any college/university attorney who would like a copy. We have asked and will ask again for a meeting with Alicia at her earliest convenience to iron out the issues. The attorney stated that all programmatic issues in the contract came directly from the Talent office.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, I am planning to send our students unless I am told directly by the Talent office or Leslie Ackerman that they cannot attend. I expect that the late hour of their reply will prevent them from being able to stop our students at the door on the first day of school. </div>
