Dear Students,
In our October 29, e-mail message (http://www.bu.edu/dos/
messages/financialneed2008. ) we acknowledged that some of you may be apprehensive about your family's financial circumstances, prospects for employment next year, or your ability to manage your expenses next semester. If you have questions or concerns about your current or future prospects for receiving financial aid, please call, e-mail, or visit the Office of Financial Assistance at 881 Commonwealth Avenue (finaid@bu.edu; 617-353-2965).html We are also offering another chance to raise your concerns with members of the University's staff at an open forum on Monday, December 1, 2008, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in CAS 224. Whether you have questions about financial aid awards, the availability of student loans, looking for jobs in a tight market, or just want to know what help is available to you, please join us. If you're not able to attend the discussion on December 1, please feel free to call staff members in the offices listed below; they're ready to talk with you at any time.

Are things that bad? Look at all those links! The subject of the email was "Message Regarding Financial Concern Forum." There's a forum now? At least the email wasn't in all CAPS, so that's a good sign. Nevertheless, it's a little distressing. Between this and finals, I'm going to start wearing a hard hat when I'm walking by the tower.
