Archana — great to reconnect virtually
Given that the policy is now being further refined, it might be most productive for our counsel, Reema Khawja to walk
you through our concerns, | have cc’d her here.
(Once you have a chance to discuss the issues with Reema further, we can decide on next steps (Le. whether it makes
sense for me to request a more formal meeting with the Vice-President and Provost)

‘Subject: Conversation
Hi Archana.
1 just had an informal conversation with Renu about the University-Mandated Leave of Absence Policy
currently being worked on and tracking through various consultations. I am connecting you because I thought it
would be good for Renu to have a brief conversation with you, too — and pethaps arrange a wider
conversation, collaboration, or something similar.
Thope this makes sense!
All the best,
—Tony
Ps It is also nice to close the loop connecting mutual friends... :)Meredith Strong
