Unions at the University of Windsor have written a joint letter asking for a reconsideration of a controversial decision.
CUPE, Unifor and WUFA all want the decision to close the University Players theatre program reversed.
The unions want the board of governors to quote "regain control" over the decision-making process.
They are also critical of a decision to remove campus police from downtown facilities.
Union officials say these are bad and high-profile decisions at a time when the university is moving up in national and global rankings and moving away the infamous moniker of "last chance u".
After the initial news release, union spokesperson, Paul Fraser said their information was incorrect.
Fraser added there is a special constable posted at the downtown campuses of the University of Windsor.
