Gas Leak
I write concerning the recent gas leak on campus. I encourage everyone to sign up for the new Wayne State University broadcast messaging system to ensure receipt of emergency alerts. (See http://computing.wayne.edu/messaging/broadcast.php). The gas leak affected a number of buildings on campus, but it posed no risk to the Law School or our students. The broadcast messaging system was used to send notices via email and IM, but the cell phone aspect of the system is not yet fully functional. We take seriously the need to advise students of issues that may affect their safety.
The public safety, physical plant, and other relevant services of Wayne State University that address issues of this nature are coordinated through the central administration. Likewise, the broadcast messaging system is maintained by the central administration. The Law School, as part of the Wayne State University, relies on the broadcast messaging system.
