Card Swipes/Door Locks at VT Still Not Fixed

This is something that generally upsets me as a student at VT as well as a friend of some of the victims of April 16th. I really really hope that VT gets on top of things soon, because I love it here and don't want to see this place get damaged any further.

On November 5, I wrote a blog post on Donkey With A Trunk  concerning how the locks in my dorm at Virginia Tech were not working, and that I have had a stalker get in the building due to this.

The university contacted me, saying that the locks would be fixed November 13. No ifs involved, just that the job would be most definitely done by that date.

It is now the 28th of November, and ZERO of the five locks are operational. I have been living in a state of anxiety due to this.

Virginia Tech claims it is making security a top priority. I don't see how it can back these claims up when they are clearly not getting the most basic of things done--figuring out how to lock a door.

this bothers me as well.

Keep pestering them.  Sometimes, it takes constant reminders to dislodge the inertia that administration can develop to move things forward.

Clearly, this is something that somebody up there needs to get on top of.
