Fire extinguishers in the computer room are not inspected annually, said the report released this week by State Auditor Leslie Merritt's office. The college in a written response said it would address such hazards, "as funding allows," and would also put procedures in place to stop unauthorized people from entering the center. The report also advised adopting new security policies to prevent electronic tampering, which the college agreed to do. The audit said the college should also adopt a more complete disaster recovery plan for its computer technology and test the plan annually.
