Upstairs, in McKee Fisk, the women̢۪s restroom has been out of order for a year now. I work across the hall from the restroom in McKee Fisk room 244 and I am constantly getting complaints from faculty and students alike asking me to have the custodial department or plumbers come out and fix the stalls.
In December, I finally got the Facilities Management Department to post a sign letting people know what was going on, because it had been about six months and nothing was being done. The sign on the door states stalls will remain out of order until renovations in summer 2009, which with the state of our budget, I do not know if they will honor that.
A student complained about the need to replace a door on the handicap stall in the women̢۪s restroom upstairs about two years ago and a shower curtain was placed up, which I was told was going to be a temporary fix but that has been up for two years now.
I think our building is being neglected and passed over when things break down and something should be done about it.

Two libraries? Some people could care less if we have one library.

Wacko—————-The mistake was investing in tearing down one half of the library simply to recreate that wing——what should have been done (what other colleges do) is build a second library at a different location for seperate subjects—–ie. a science and business library at the northeast corner of campus. Madden would have served the social sciences and general services. Whoever made the call to tear down and then rebuild our campus’ only library should be fired. U.S.C. has about a half dozen or more libraries if I recall correctly.

And yet the university has proposals to build new buildings. They need to change their priorities.
