An unknown culprit vandalized an elevator door in Oliver Hall last week. Student Housing estimates the damages between $2,400 and $8,000.
16. 20, 20, one of the elevator doors on the seventh floor was dislodged from its hinges and shoved into the elevator shaft while the elevator was coming up from the sixth floor. The elevator is one of only two in Oliver and is expected to be out of service for weeks.
"Our elevator service person indicates that the door must have been kicked very hard by one or several people to have caused that much damage," said Diana Robertson, director of KU Student Housing.
Damages are estimated to cost between $2,400 and $8,000 according to Student Housing.
ALISE RHINES Freshman from Shawnee
KU Public Safety Officers and Student Housing are investigating the incident, but have not found an offender yet. If the offender is found, Student Housing will press
"They gave us an ultimatum — either someone come forward with who caused the damage, or every person who lives on the floor will have to pay $125 or more to cover the damages."
The seventh floor residents had a mandatory meeting regarding the incident last week
"They told us that if we didn't attend the meeting without an exceptional excuse that we would be put through the conduct system," said Alise Rhines, a freshman from Shawnee. "They gave us an ultimatum — either someone come forward with who caused the damage, or every person who lives on the floor will have to pay $125 or more

"We are all being blamed for something none of us have any knowledge of," Rhines said. "I felt like I was being treated like a child."

"The elevator door was forcibly kicked or pulled in like that, it didn't just happen." Robertson said. "It's a very selfish act. You have 630 people being inconvenienced by the actions of one or some. It's very unfortunate, and it's very expensive."
Keary said that once the Public Safety Office finds out who damaged the property, they will be cited and brought to the detention facility. The officers will then investigate the crime and provide the information to the court.
