Various campus-wide blue emergency phone poles, which are meant to keep students safe on campus are not functioning.

The inconvenience is a result of the campus-wide construction, units needing to be repaired, Director of Facilities Paul Nieman said.

The blue phones, also known as ‘blue lights’ are meant to provide a method for students and staff to contact the Sheriffs for help in case of emergency.

Although not all 26 blue phone units on campus have been blocked, those that have been were blocked for time frames while repair work was taking place, Nieman said.
