In addition, the students said they were assured in the meeting that PBH staff would not be required to serve all of the University's student volunteers.

"Our new understanding is that staff would still be deployed separately with no change in staff available to PBHA programs, nor would there be an elimination of the senior staff position currently deployed to oversee programs outside PBHA," the students wrote in Friday's letter.

November 3 Deadline

The PBHA/HAND letter asks Knowles, Jewett and Maull to respond to their questions about the assistant dean's job by November 3.

"Please contact us in writing by November 3rd if the above statements do not accurately reflect the statements you made to us in [the October 21] meeting," the letter reads. "Assuming that the above information is correct we would very much like to share it with the members of the PBHA Association Committee who will be convening on November 3."

The Phillips Brooks House Association Committee is a group of local and national leaders who advise the student-run association.

"Unfortunately we know that they will also share our remaining concerns and so we would appreciate your addressing those concerns in writing as well by November 3," the letter says
