LETTER: So much for the ombudsman

Dear Editor, After reading an article a month or two ago about Utah State’s ombudsman, I was inspired. I crossed the “third floor gap” and filled out a form to the ombudsman including my name and contact information. I requested the lights in the wooded area directly north of the old heating plant be repaired. There are plenty of lights there, but none of them work. I thought since such reparations seem minor I would see rapid results. I was wrong. The lights are still out and I have yet to hear a response from the ombudsman. On top of that, the snow is not being cleared on the stairways in the same area. This adds a whole new danger to walking along that path. Everyone’s familiar with the cliché “the squeaky wheel gets the grease.” Well squeak, squeak, squeak, now plug in the lights.
