In light of the recent local storm and the Virginia Tech shootings, the ANU has set up a "Campus Emergency Mobile Phone Number" option in ISIS so that if there is another campus emergency here at ANU, students and staff can be readily contacted and warned of the danger.
So please enter an emergency contact number in your ANUBIS account at the first available opportunity! The numbers will remain entirely confidential unless such an emergency arises, in which case they will be used to contact you to inform you of the situation.
Thanks!
Right. So, in case of Evil Gunmen, the uni is going to personally and individually call EVERY SINGLE STUDENT (and presumably postgrads, academics and lecturers as well, unless they don't care about them). All 3000 of them. Do they think this might take a little bit longer than they actually have, in that situation? And what if people don't answer, because, by some random and cruel twist of fate, that was the day they actually remembered to turn off their phone in a lecture? And in what order? Alphabetically? Of course, it's ANU, so I'm tempted to say they'd call the full-fee paying students first...
Perhaps they plan on asking the Evil Gunman to just wait patiently until they've finished?
Actually, that wouldn't surprise me. Student admin has always held the opinion that students have nothing better to do than wait for the on the convenience of the admin staff, regardless of murderous intentions and/or urgent academic requirements.
(Of course, this is off an LJ report. I can't really be bothered to check if this is true or not, although it would be simple if you had access to ISIS. I just feel like snark. ETA: Aspsuedoskribe points out, this is a lot less stupid if they are using an SMS system. But I still feel like snarking about it.)
In other news - thank god I get tomorrow off. I am so completely wiped right now, a fact I am now putting down to the lingering effects of the Cold From Hell. I feel like I've had the energy just sucked right out of me. So I am going to watch Doctor Who, post some squee (hopefully) foramethyste5, and go to bed.
