With the growing concern of an energy crisis, San Jose State University has experienced rolling blackouts in certain parts of its campus. Cunningham also said south campus would not be affected by rolling blackouts. Cunningham said the demand for energy is not a huge concern during the winter, but the summer could be ugly because of higher energy consumption. It's something to think about during the day.
People have to be careful.
SJSU was featured in a news report on KGO TV at 6 p.m. on Jan. 11 as an example of how major businesses and industries are responding to the energy crisis. SJSU was presented as innovative and progressive, anticipating potential energy problems and playing a leadership role in creating a solution. In the report, SJSU said its main goal is to protect the students and research facilities while being a good neighbor and citizen. The university was put to the test when a 90-minute blackout occurred on Wednesday, Jan. 17. Martin Castillo, the community relations coordinator for the housing office, said the blackout made working conditions a little harder.
