Editorial: University commended for bird poop clean-up
When we initially assigned one of our reporters a story over the massive amounts of bird poop around campus, we had no idea what it would actually turn up.
We figured that this had to be a problem that has cropped up in the past for the university, but little did we know that the facility maintenance people have been and are currently aware of the problem, and have protocols to deal with the matter.
It's good to know that the university is actually paying attention and working to fix an issue that concerns so many students. We also applaud their use of non-lethal methods for relocating the birds, not only to preserve the safety of the birds, but the safety of the students and faculty as well.
While it's comforting to know that there is nothing to fear from the bird feces, it's even more comforting to know the university cares enough to try to clean it up every week before some idiot crawls around in it and actually does get some kind of avian flu.
Given the fact that the university's protocols will not likely be a permanent fix, it is clear that the facility maintenance people are fighting a losing battle. However, we want to encourage them to keep up the work they're doing to make our campus a clean place for learning.
