KU Student Senate Leads Plans to Expand Wireless Internet
A new plan by Student Senate will allow students at the University of Kansas access to wireless Internet from more spots on campus than ever before.
Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior and student body president, has been working with Information Services and Network and Telecommunications Services to expand the availability of wireless Internet to the approximate half of campus buildings without it. The expansion of a campus-wide wireless network was one of Boots’ campaign platforms during last spring’s Student Senate elections.
Academic classrooms will be the first to receive wireless networks. Second will be student lab areas such as physics or chemistry labs. Third will be common areas such as the hallways in Budig Hall or meeting rooms in the Burge Union.
