This academic year, five projectors have been stolen from classrooms and engineering labs. The monetary value of the projectors isn t the only concern for administration. Behrend s MISC is doing everything possible to replace the missing equipment and keep the negative effect it has on classes to a minimum. One problem is these projectors are chosen because of their features and ease of use. A new model will have to be selected to help replace what has been stolen.
Professors have the option to get a mobile projector and computer unit for their lectures.
A wide variety of classes are being held in Academic 41 this semester. They include art history with Dr. Sharon Dale, African American studies with Dr. Roberta Salper, Jewish and Christian studies with Dr. Daniel Frankforter, and mass media and society with Dr. Carla Lloyd. Behrend is taking steps to reduce theft of technology equipment on campus. There have been cameras placed in some of the computer labs to monitor activity. With these changes to Behrend equipment, Loreti believes theft should be deterred.
