Throughout the 2019-2020 academic year, both President Virjee and the CSUF administration have shown a disturbing lack of concern and capability in matters related to school-wide safety and student needs. Our campus has faced racial injustice, immediate threats to student safety, crime on campus, and now, the threat of a public health crisis. President Virjee has chosen to meet these challenges with a policy of inaction first, verbose appeasement second, and action only when overwhelming student outrage presents itself.

We, the student body of California State University, Fullerton, now find ourselves surrounded by misinformation and a lack of clear and present policy-making by the school administration. In the face of a highly contagious and difficult-to-detect disease that could kill or endanger our loved ones and the faculty members that we honor and respect the most, President Virjee and the administration have chosen to meet our concern with the same failing strategy that has been outlined above.

Our professors are now being forced to make public health decisions in areas which they are not qualified. They are being made to comply to a contingency plan which was, at best, hastily put together without prior thought.

Our students are facing uncertainty that is being further escalated by the administration's lack of a clear timeline or any sort of scholarly and unified approach. We must resort to social media and public sources of information to learn about events (such as the off-campus quarantine of two students due to potential COVID-19 infection) that our administration is not presenting in a transparent and honest manner.



We, the student body, cannot (and must not) tolerate this from the members of our community who are supposed to lead us. ASI must also recognize this. We elected them to represent and empower our voices.



For this reason, we are calling on ASI and President Aaron Aguilar to formally call a vote of no-confidence in President Framrose Virjee and the school administration. Our campus community faces a great number of challenges which President Virjee has repeatedly addressed in a manner not befitting of our leadership. We implore ASI to empower us to voice these concerns.
