secret service

So, yeah, I met with the Secret Service today.

An agent from that department came to our office today to:

1. Let us know that yes, Donald Trump is coming to UA – on Monday.

2. Let us know what to do and who to contact if someone calls in a threat to the campus switchboard.

3. Get a signature to authorize having our phones tapped if someone does make a threat.

So, yeah.

I got the operators updated while we tried to figure out who had the authority to sign for that. We eventually tracked down the right VP, but so many of the buildings on campus are “land-locked”, it was easier just to take him there. Or rather, he drove and I rode along and gave him directions to appropriate parking. And then I walked him to the right building and the right VP.

Then I got the hell out of there. This was waaaaay above my pay scale.

So, yeah, that happened.  Good luck, Akron.
