The computers are needed for late night work. Engineers work late and the automatic shutoff wastes our time, increases our stress levels, and ultimately has not shown any beneficial results. Please remove the curfew.

I need to use the computers. I have been denied educational experience.

Some of these projects take a considerable amount of time so being able to stay in later than midnight is crucial

Late night/early morning access was crucial for me to pass some of my classes. Couldn't have done that with the computers shutting down at midnight.

The many should not be punished for the misdeeds of the few.

Anyone who's worked on engineering projects understands how important it is to have access to a computer with relevant software at all times.

I would be happy to find an alternate solution to whatever problem the curfew was attempting to solve

I'm an engineering major, most of the time I work at night and it is very important for me to finish my work regardless of what time of the night it is.

I put in a formal request for this at the beginning of the semester and was shot down. in addition to the computer shutdown I added that the classrooms should be opened later and the building hours need to be extended. I hope this petition is just the beginning.

As a non-profit, public university, the school does not have the right to control when students work, just where. The lack of warning prior to shutdown shows thoughtlessness. Remember that your thoughtlessness has consequences for tuition-paying students. This arrogantly thoughtles, passive agressive policy should be reversed. Also, create a confirmation page before adding printing charges. This is another thoughtless, passive-agressive policy.

It has not been made clear why this computer shutdown was initiated in the first place. Engineers are consistently using the servers during this period, and shutting down the computers has created a great inconvenience for many. In the least, seniors should have access during this time. I have heard a couple "horror stories" of EE students who have lost a great amount of work due to this shutdown i.e. the notes to a very complicated processor. AND IN THE VERY VERY VERY LEAST GIVE A 10 MINUTE WARNING.
