Blanket Forts

1/5/2012: Several students complained of halls being blocked by blanket forts, pillow piles, and other miscellaneous bedding-structures. By the time officers arrived on the scene, the offending materials were removed. A reminder to students, building blanket forts is: 1) dangerous (aside from being a fire hazard, more people die in blanket fort collapses each year than are killed by the propellers of airplane); 2) against school policy (according to the Greendale Community College Student Handbook, building a blanket fort can result detention, suspension, and in rare cases expulsion); and 3) against the law. Any one caught blocking a fire escape route, (which includes all doors, indoor hallways, stairwells, and anywhere else I might want to go) may be found criminally liable for a Class C felony and subject to seven years in prison and/or a $200,000 fine. Anyone with information on the culprits, contact GDCCCPF immediately; do not try to apprehend the suspects on your own, they may be DANGEROUS.
