Nov. 8 – Drug and alcohol violation (Building V) – A UNF employee found a partially smoked marijuana cigarette on the bathroom sink counter during a health and safety inspection.

The room occupant denied possession of the substance and claimed there was not enough evidence to place the subject in constructive possession of the illegal substance.

Further examination of the room revealed a 750 ml bottle of tequila in the refrigerator.

The largest philanthropy event in the nation is scheduled to take place Nov. 21 and 22 at the

During the registration period, holds on accounts are often mentioned in the context of unfair treatment from the university to its students.

Once holds are placed on students’ accounts, students are unable to access their transcript, register and even graduate.

“It doesn’t matter whether you owe a penny or $5,000,” UNF Bursar Margaret Partyka said.

The Controller’s Office system records all fines imposed on the students’ accounts by various departments and places a hold on each of these accounts programmatically overnight, she said.

The university’s Information Technology Services department recently experienced an up-
tick in computer viruses, which started in October, said an Information Technology Services spokeswoman.

There were 1,478 incidents of virus detection on 30 managed computers – staff and lab machines – which is considerably higher than the last several months, said Alison Cruess, ITS communications coordinator.

The virus triggered the university’s virus protection – Symantec’s new Bloodhound software that tracks down heuristic viruses.
