Lab Security to Be Upgraded
- Share via
A Van Nuys alarm company is expected to install a new security system today in the Pierce College Special Services’ computer lab, the first step toward getting the program for disabled students back to normal after five computers were stolen last month.
On May 31, thieves broke into the college lab in Woodland Hills and stole IBM-compatible computers programmed to teach deaf, quadriplegic and brain-injured students.
After news of the theft of the computers, which cost an estimated $10,000, was reported, the campus Office of Disabled Students Services received about 20 calls of sympathy and offers of help. But so far, only the alarm company’s donation has materialized.
