Student, faculty, and staff safety needs to be a priority on the campus of King College. The brick sidewalks might have been beautiful at one point, but in their current condition, that beauty is deteriorating. Furthermore, the numerous broken portions of the sidewalks cannot be considered safe. The purpose of this petition is to convince the administrators at King College that there is an overwhelming interest in forming a fundraising committee composed of students, faculty, staff and alumni that will actively address this problem. This committee will meet regularly and will be devoted to raising funds for this project. This is OUR campus. Let's take control and make it a safer, more beautiful King College.
Our goal is to present this petition, along with other data, in a team presentation on November 20, 2008. If the students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of King College, in a unified voice, call for this change to occur, perhaps we can catalyze the initial steps of this long-awaited project. Thank you for your interest and support!
I spent the afternoon walking the main quad and counted over a dozen new loose bricks that pose a real danger to everyone rushing to class. The stories you have sent me about your own trips and falls are painful to read but they give me the strength to keep pushing the administration for a meeting. We deserve a campus that does not fight back against our feet.

Seeing the campus rally around this issue feels surreal because I remember tripping on those exact bricks during my freshman year. This momentum proves that we all care about making our home safer.

I can no longer attend as a traditional student, which I enrolled as because of issues such as this! I had an accident and the handicap advisor was on sabbatical......where was the fill in help? King College is slowly crumbling while pockets are being padded with student tuition. I am now forced online which is a shame. a $676.00 comprehensice fee is charged to each traditional student, why couldn't some of this money have been used. Tree roots protrud so far out of the ground just ealking around that campus is dangerous. What was once so beautiful is now being left to a state of ruin. Shame on you Greg Jordan, you need to be fired instead of some of those wonderful teachers.

Finally someone is doing something about this. The state of the grounds is embarrassing for a college like this.
