The handling of communications about the Getty fire from the chancellor&#039;s office was disingenuous and disregarding of student and employee safety. News reports and climate forecasts told a different story from the updates that came from the chancellor&#039;s office.(Tanmay Shankar/Assistant Photo editor)

While I appreciated the live updates regarding the statuses of the fires as well as the traffic and air quality on and surrounding campus, it was alarming to me that the approach to these updates seemed to be day-by-day as opposed to holistic.
