Drop, cover, and hold!

Saddleback College to participate in Great Southern California Shakeout:
Saddleback College will join thousands of other colleges, schools and organizations Thursday in the Great Southern California Shakeout, the nation's largest state-sponsored emergency exercise.

This full-scale emergency exercise focuses on the response to a simulated scenario– a catastrophic 7.8 magnitude earthquake along the southern portion of the San Andreas Fault.

At 9:45 a.m., a campus-wide simulated emergency InformaCast System broadcast will be made via each classroom and/or office telephone alerting students of the drill.

In response to the announcement, everyone on campus will practice the drop, cover and hold on protocol. After the "all clear" announcement is made, everyone will evacuate their buildings according to the campus evacuation plan....
From this morning’s Inside Higher Ed:
[MORMONS AGAIN:] The University of Phoenix has agreed to pay $1,875,000 to 52 enrollment counselors who say that they were discriminated against because they are not Mormons. The settlement follows a suit by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which found valid the employees’ claims that those who were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were provided with better student leads and were promoted over better qualified non-Mormons. In a statement, the University of Phoenix said it was committed to equal opportunity and that its agreement to settle the suit did not involve any admission of wrongdoing.
