SAFETY ISSUES:
- Dangerous windows. (Guillotine slams down, heavily! Someone WILL get hurt.)
- Fire drill procedure for disabled -- no call button in stairwells.
- N.B. I called to report, but ...
CLASSROOM ISSUES (H 206):
- Clock is missing.
- Janitors place wastebaskets in pathways -- tripping hazard.
- Idea: add boards on wall, behind sliders.
SCHEDULE ISSUES:
- No makeup for snow days.
- Lost another hour due to "survey" !!!
- Midterm (just before break) - common hour 7-8
- Internet down; had to do as "takehome".
- +Fire drill on same day.
(See above for safety issue -- wheelchair student remained in stairwell w/o communication)
COMPUTER ISSUES:
- Blocked ports for putty!!
- Cannot arrange shortcuts on desktop (autoarrange is preset as default)
- Classroom sw is now in separate folders: browsers, languages, textpad.
[[ Request a few more shortcuts, e.g. Processing, Textpad, portable browsers (non-IE), etc. ]]
[[ Possibly a script to reconfigure desktop to a few custom layouts,
for common courses such as 111, 112, 141 ]]
ADJUNCT OFFICE:
- Computers do not have sw used in classroom
- Cannot install software (e.g. putty, textpad, compilers)

"This version of Firefox is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a supported browser."
- No auto-logout; cannot log in another user.
(Computer remains locked until power off/on.)
- Windowshades broken - cannot use during morning sun
OFF-CAMPUS (COMMUNICATION) ISSUES:
