Building L will be the first to receive the new installations by the end of May, with the rest of the campus expected to be outfitted later in the year. North and Wolfson campuses already have security cameras. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the buildings that have been targeted the most at Kendall Campus are buildings 2, 3, L and M\u2014each has had at least three reported incidents. Building 4 has had the most reported occurrences, with six cases since August. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In one incident, a vandal tagged the word \u201csativa\u201d in seven separate locations. Another vandal spray-painted what public safety reports say was \u201cpolitical propaganda in favor of Kanye West\u201d on projection screens in Rooms 3309, 3310 and 6204. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The screens could not be cleaned and had to be replaced. Each had a value of $800, costing the campus $2,400. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The acts were not limited to graffiti. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several bathrooms across the campus had toilet seats torn off, mirrors scratched and toilets clogged with paper. Cars have been keyed with lewd phrases such as \u201cGet a room,\u201d \u201cF\u2014 me harder Virgin\u201d and drawings of phallic objects. In the computer courtyard, eight computers had their disc drives stuffed with food. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis is senseless,\u201d Stokes said. \u201cIt\u2019s our obligation to make sure we can clean everything as quickly as possible. I find it all to be a nuisance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To repair the damage, maintenance workers spend hours painting over the flagrant graffiti around campus. Anything that can\u2019t be painted over or fixed has to be replaced. It can take hours for custodians and maintenance crews to reverse the damage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur workers spend hours trying to get the campus to remain clean,\u201d said Oscar Cortina Gault, maintenance supervisor at Kendall Campus. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nelson Maga\u00f1a, who serves as dean of students at Kendall Campus, partly blames the crimes on the campus\u2019 large size. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every so often we see an uptick in vandalism on the campus,\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maga\u00f1a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said. \u201cThe reasons are often hard to pinpoint, but the campus is a microcosm of our greater community. Kendall is by far larger than all our other campuses, and we have more students as well. This also means it is more difficult to have eyes and ears in all corners.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The College\u2019s Code of Conduct outlines that vandals are subject to disciplinary action and\/or may require restitution for damages. Alleged perpetrators are investigated by the dean of students. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cVandalism is a violation of the code of conduct,\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00f1a said.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cThe severity of the violation will have a direct impact on the consequences to the student, but so will the student\u2019s reaction to the process.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students caught vandalizing college property face repercussions ranging from community service to disciplinary suspension, restitution, temporary suspension and dismissal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If found guilty by the dean, students have the option to appeal their sentence and the campus president has the ability to uphold the penalty or reduce it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offenders can also face misdemeanor or felony charges depending on the severity of the damage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re hoping that through our work, we can slow down this aggressive pattern,\u201d Stokes said. \u201cThis is [the students\u2019] environment. We are the caretakers. We want to provide an environment that\u2019s clean, safe and welcoming.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kendall Campus has received more than 30 complaints involving graffiti or destruction of college property since last August.
