Early on the afternoon of Mon
day, Oct. 23, two rooms in South
Village 3 were illegally entered and
flooded when sinks and showers
were left running (See Security
Report, page 3).
Rob Seay, Associate Dean of
Students, says that damages to the
rooms could be extensive, although
the cost has not yet been esti
mated. Stan Jacobson, Head of
Security, says that the three stu
dents living in the two rooms suf
fered less property damage be
cause the vandal(s) picked up
many of the students’ belongings
off of the floor
Brevard police are currently in
volved in the investigation to find
out who is responsible for the dam
ages. According to Jacobson, the
students living in the damaged
rooms have not indicated any sus
pects. The students claimed to
have locked their doors and not
given anyone their keys. The
rooms showed no signs of forced
entry, which raises the concern
that the vandal(s) could have used
a copy of the school’s grand mas
ter key.
Rob Seay explained that power
to the rooms was temporarily cut
off for safety reasons, but has
been turned back on. Damage to
the building’s wiring is still a con
cern since water damaged the ceil
ing located directly beneath the
soaked floor of the flooded room.
Campus Life has offered the
students temporary new housing,
but despite damp carpets, the stu
dents have decided to remain in
their rooms.
