Ever since their installation a year ago, the elevators in the parking structure have been troublesome.
"Fullerton paid for a quality product and we should get what we paid for," said FC President Dr. Kathleen Hodge. "We will take the time and effort to fix these problems for the students' sake."
Time and effort will be needed in order to get this problem straightened out. According to Hodge, the two elevators will be replaced during Winter and Spring Break. They will be replaced one by one when there are fewer students on campus.
Since January, Campus Safety reported that the elevators have been stuck four times. The shortest length of time the elevator has been stuck was fifteen minutes, while the longest time was an hour.
"A lot of times [after getting off the elevator] students ask if they can have a note or if they still have to go to class," said Campus Safety Director Emilio Perez.
If students are concerned about a teacher questioning their tardiness, then a Campus Safety Officer will walk them to class and explain what happened.
Overall, the success of the parking structure lies with "students having 1,400 new parking spaces and not with the unreliability of the elevators," Hodge said.
