The Dixie State University campus will be closed between Dec. 23 and Jan. 2, which is the first time DSU has been closed this long during holiday break. A VOICEOFDIXIE Dixie State University will become a home away from home for some students who will be spending the holiday break on campus. Many students staying on campus are international students, like Irem Dilek, a freshman general studies major from Izmir, Turkey. "I'm broke, and I can't go home," Dilek said. "I'm sad I can't leave because all of my friends are leaving me for the Christmas break." Despite some students staying on campus during the holiday break, the campus will be nearly completely closed between Dec. 23 and Jan. 2. This will mean there will be limited access to services like campus dining services during this week. Carole Hu let, assistant director of International Student Services, said there are many international students who stay on campus during the holiday break. In the past, she said there have been small activities held on campus that International Student Services put together for those students staying, but no events will be held this year due to the campus closing. This is the first time in DSU history that the campus will be closed for a week during the holiday break, said Dean of Students Del Beatty. Beatty said activity on campus between Christmas and New Years' has been tracked and it is always incredibly low. "It's a waste of resources to keep over 1,000 employees sitting in offices with the lights and heat on for nothing to happen," Beatty said. For students living on campus with meal plans, they will be given vouchers for meals local restaurants like Wendy's while the Trailblazer Cafe is closed, said Martin Peterson, director of campus dining services. Everton Araujo, assistant director of international student services, said he doesn't foresee campus dining being a problem for international students and said it will be a nice break from the same rotation of meals. While campus will be closed, several renovations will be happening at DSU, said Paul Morris, vice president of administrative affairs. Subway will be moved down the hall from the Trailblazer Cafe to the Market in the Gardner Student Center. A Mexican grill with tacos and burritos will take it's place in the Trailblazer Cafe. The campus store on 100 S. will also be closed at the end of December to be remodeled as the new Health and Wellness Center. "These renovations aren't the reason campus will be closed," Morris said. "It's just a holiday thing because of when Christmas and New Years' are this year." Additional reporting was done by fonny Weakley, Diana Fossett and Markee Heckenliable.

Ever since Edward Snowden released information on meta-dat- a collection by the U.S. Government in 2013, American citizens have protested for their rights in being secure and safe from unwarranted searches as stated in the Fourth Amendment. At DSU, policies have been put into place to ensure safety and the right to do as one the pleases in regards to using internet. DSU policy 462 section 4.5 states that the college strives to provide "academic freedom and privacy" for those who use the internet on camstates that pus. The policy also because no computer system is completely private, there is "no guarantee" for internet user data to be completely protected. DSU's IT department, Chief Information Officer Gary Koeven said, "Our focus is on working to protect DSU's IT infrastructure and to safeguard private student, employee and institutional data. Not on monitoring or censoring employee's or student's internet searches and activities." As part of the IT department's attempt to keep DSU students and employees safe and free, the school requires its internet users to login using a username and password, said Information Security Officer Andrew Goble. "This is consistent with standard practices for other c, universities and internet service providers across the U.S.," Goble said. z So, does DSU monitor its employees and students while 2,4 cn they search the internet? The answer to that question is mostly no. "DSU doesn't actively engage in the monitoring of what students or faculty are searching for or viewing on the internet," Goble said. "It only.uses what information it does to monitor or collect internally as permitted by university policy, and only releases that information to in response to a third-parti- es lawful court order or subpoena." n 4.5.1 states, "The Sub-sectio- see PRIVACY , SECTION 4.5 xie State P3Licy 462 D Urivas ty ,04 page 2 |
