In order to improve student safety, the University Transit Service will change the frequency of buses on the Blue and Orange lines to 12 minutes at all times. The new schedule, replacing the current one, in which buses comes every 10 minutes during the day and every 20 minutes in the evening, will take effect on August 25. Student Council and two University committees -- the Transportation and Parking subcommittee on Escort Review and the General Safety and Security Committee -- recommended the changes in order to better serve the night-time transportation and safety needs of students, according to Council Vice President for Administration Will Sowers. The committees reviewed issues of safety on Grounds and researched plans at other universities for examples on which to base the new improvements. "We wanted to maintain a high level of service, but at the same time focus more on safety," Sowers said of the committees' goals. One problem the committees noticed was that students sometimes had to wait over three-quarters of an hour for an Escort Service van.

Beginning in the spring of 2004, the University will begin testing a new online diversity exercise which is scheduled to become mandatory for all students by the fall of 2005. Once implemented, the online training system, plans for which were announced at the May 31 Board of Visitors meeting, will be required in order for students to register for classes. Pat Lampkin, University vice president for student affairs, emphasized that the ungraded course will be "totally anonymous" and is intended as a first step toward possibly bringing students together for face-to-face dialogue. A month-long request for proposal for the project was issued on July 1, during which companies will apply to develop the exercise. "What we're asking for is an interactive online exercise that will expose people to differing thoughts and differing opinions," Lampkin said. Student Council President Daisy Lundy said she sees the course as a way to apply ideals of diversity to everyday life at the University. "I think the course will bring together history, the current state of affairs and a practical application of what [students] have learned," Lundy said.
