Summer emergency
messages delayed, not
received by some students
Logan Papen
junior staff writer
K-State alert messages are
intended to communicate emer-
gency information to students,
including but not limited to
severe weather and wanted per-
sons on campus.
While students like the idea
of the text alert system, which is
readily available, recently the ef-
fi ciency and reception of it have
been called into question.
One recent alert concerned
a wanted man seen around
campus over the summer break.
“Th e intruder alert was
slightly delayed, but I still got it,”
said Cameron Th omsen, soph-
omore in family studies and
human services.
Justin Kannard, senior in
graphic design, said he never
received the alert about the in-
truder but has had no other
problems with the system.
Th ose in charge of sending
the text alerts out, however, said
there was no delay on their part.
