The permit behind the glass in the elevators across campus say they expired in June of this year, but don’t be fooled because these elevators, despite being slow, never stopped being safe.

“The elevator permit inspections were completed in July '08,” said Gary Iocco with the California department of Industrial relations. “The permits have not been released yet because there was no budget to pay the fees.”

So this week things should be getting back on track and students can again ride the elevators on campus without any more worry, as the expired permits will be soon replaced with new proofs of inspection.
