Hello hello!

This week, The Rusty Nail will only be open during the coordinators shifts for trainings. Everyone who currently has a shift, or would like to have one is required to stop by at one of these times:

Monday 12:30-4:30
Thursday 2:30-4:30
Saturday 9:00-11:00am
Sunday 11:00-3:00

Starting Monday, February 20th, all shifts will start and we will be open during normal operating hours. Thank you to everyone who signed up for a shift, see you soon!

In light of recent events, we'd like to explain what happened so it won't happen again. In the days leading up to the show, a poster was made that stated "sobriety strongly discouraged," which is in direct conflict with LCs Drugs & Alcohol policy. In addition, this statement is exclusionary to all that are sober for personal or medical reasons. We asked for all the posters to be taken down, but before they were an administrator saw them and reported them to a few different organizations on campus. Although the poster was not representative of the values and rules of the co-op, the administrators stated that there wasn't a way to separate the event from the message and they told us we need to cancel the show until further notice. We here at the Rusty Nail Co-op want to provide a space for all students to create, perform, and occupy. As long as policies aren't broken, we can continue to operate normally. In the future, just make sure to think about the campus as a whole before acting. We will do our part to monitor the messages that are representing the Co-op and make the policies clear to those who are advertising for us.

Best,
The Rusty Nail Coordinators
