Dear Jeff:

Let us hope that the new Minister of Enterprise & Advanced Education, the Hon. Thomas Lukaszuk, MLA, Progressive Conservative, Edmonton-Castledowns thinks long & hard beIV considering the closure of Athabasca University, a truly great school. You of course know all this as its smack dab in the middle of your riding. People like Mayor Melissa Blake of Fort McMurray & The Wood Buffalo Regional Municipality & myself have Bachelor of Administration degrees from there. As do many other Alberta students in all manner of educational fields, as do students worldwide for whom a classroom setting like the University Of Alberta is not possible. Say they have jobs & cannot afford to leave them II live here. Education should not have barriers just b/c a person is not in the same classroom as an instructor physically. As your predecessor as Minister of Education, Thomas has the focus to accomplish this rejigging. Plus Thomas has a teaching degree, so really understands the mindset of today's educators.

Lets Us Hope IV The Best,

Rory
