Lost master key prompts plan to change locks in more than 800 dorm rooms
University employees have lost a master key to eight dorms and Forbes College, forcing Public Safety and the University Lock Shop to scramble to change the locks on more than 800 dorm room doors, Crime Prevention Specialist Barry Weiser said yesterday.The lost key provides access to room doors in Pyne, Spelman, Little, Foulke, Henry, 1901, Laughlin, Lockhart and Forbes ? which house nearly one-quarter of the campus population, Weiser said.According to Weiser, two University employees checked out the master key Friday to perform standard maintenance on several upperclass dorms and later discovered they had lost the key.For security reasons, the University must now change all the door locks in the compromised dorms, Weiser explained.
