Power failure causes campus Web outage
Utility plant, power distribution were not affected
The University’s Internet service went dark Friday for more than an hour after a power failure in an Information Technology Services equipment room.
Students were jolted into an unwanted Facebook reprieve at 1:38 p.m., and not all of campus was back online until at least 3 p.m., ITS officials said. It was the most significant unplanned outage in recent memory.
