The Graduate Student Senate will join the Undergraduate Student Government to improve BGSU campus blue light system.
Campus safety is something that affects all individuals on campus. GSS believes that USG has identified and brought to attention a possible safety risk on campus.
Steve Dietrich, GSS president, said, ‘This is not a USG issue but a whole campus issue.’
According to USG Bill 00-01-11, the blue light emergency phones are difficult to distinguish from the regular light fixtures located on campus. With this in mind, USG believes that this blue light system would be more effective if the lights on the top of the phone poles were blue.
In addition, the bill addresses that it is often impossible to see blue lights from a given spot on campus. As a result, concerns have been raised about the number of emergency phones located on campus.
Currently, USG and GSS are working with the University Safety Committee to determine possible remedies for this safety concern.
