The University must insist upon total compliance with posted or normally accepted rules of safety in regard to fire. In order to assure the safety of all residents, absolute adherence to fire regulations is expected. Tampering with fire extinguishers, the sprinkler system, safety doors, or fire alarms is not only illegal, it also jeopardizes the safety of everyone.
Fire is a serious threat to life, health, and property.
Please do not burn candles, use open flames, store flammable materials, or use open-element cooking appliances in the residence halls. For fire safety reasons, the outside doors and walls in the hallway must be clear of large coverings that are pasted or tacked to the surface. Residents engaged in pranks using burning materials or suspected of other arson activities will be referred to the University Police for investigation and prosecuted through the District Attorney's Office. In addition they are subject to eviction from the residential building and other University disciplinary action. The main entrance is near the corner of 15th and Jefferson street.
