SUNY Canton President Joseph L. Kennedy Responds to the Canton Fire Department Press Release

CANTON, N.Y. (02/14/2012)(readMedia)-- "I'm relieved the investigation has revealed no indication of an intentional or criminal act, and I applaud all of the agencies involved in the investigation. They have worked diligently and thoroughly to get these answers to us as quickly as possible, and we can't thank them enough."

"We are all still anxious for the College to return to normalcy. Currently, we are still awaiting lab results to determine how quickly we will be allowed to re-open the buildings surrounding Cook Hall. We continue to follow the Office of Emergency Management, the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, Office of Fire Prevention and Control, the Department of Health, the Office of General Services, the State University of New York, and the many other agencies that provided experts for the situation. In the mean time, we've begun to tentatively schedule some classes in alternate venues with hopes of minimally interrupting the Spring 2012 Semester."
