网曝吃瓜

网曝吃瓜 officials have determined the iconic "I" on Red Hill in Pocatello poses a safety risk and a committee comprised of students, faculty, alumni and community members has been formed to make recommendations on the structure鈥檚 future.

            "As we review the issues identified in the three studies, our goal is to preserve the history of this university and resolve any safety concerns," said Arthur C. Vailas, 网曝吃瓜 President.

            A trail on Red Hill located downhill closest to the "I" has been closed and will remain closed until safety issues have been resolved. The east side of this upper trail on Red Hill is cordoned-off and has signs declaring the closed area on its north and south ends.

            The 网曝吃瓜 Facilities Department completed a study of the Red Hill "I" earlier this year that raised safety concerns about it. That study has been reviewed by James Mahar from the 网曝吃瓜 School of Civil and Environmental Engineering in the College of Science and Engineering who also concluded that because of erosion and instability as it currently sits, the "I" poses a potential safety risk.

网曝吃瓜 will now engage the services of an independent Idaho registered professional engineer to further assess the safety concerns, review 网曝吃瓜鈥檚 internal reports and make recommendations on repairing or replacing the "I."

            "The newly formed committee will review the information provided and advise President Vailas on how to proceed," said Kent Tingey, 网曝吃瓜 Vice President for Advancement. "We are acquiring the facts now and we will be making recommendations on this historic and well-loved landmark that is dear to the entire community."
