almost a year ago he was sitting on the potty well, losing intrest in his binki, blanky, and bottle..actually used them only in bed. Then we lost our house to a fire.his blanket was with us and noone was home.he regressed deeply. Our Daughter was 8 and went through counsling and seems to be fine now. we then where tossed around for a while moving ever couple of months.moved states twice.things have been in a very heavy state of upheavle sence. he is using the potty all the time, and has completely gotten rid of his bottle. But the blanket has to go EVERYWHERE with us, and his binki too.it's even a huge fight to wash the blanket, can get him to leave them in the car once in a while but, not often and never at the house with out us. Should I be pushing this or just continue to ride it out?
Yes it is illegal. Let your RA know about it. And they will have it fixed. It's a violation of NFPA (National Fire Prevention Agency that writes the U.S. building codes) and must be fixed. Also if there is a fire and the detector doesn't work when it should, the university could be sued. So the university will make sure it is proper working order. Most fire alarms are tied (wired into) a panel, that checks the status of the detectors. If it is not working it will give or not give the required signal to the panel. This is called a trouble code. And tells the university that the detector needs to be inspected.
You have absolutely no right to demand to see their video tape. Unless you have a union contract that states otherwise, your employer has no obligation to provide you with any type of evidence for any reason for a simple disciplinary action like a write up. You have no real rights here, and anybody that says otherwise is a fool. I imagine that the videotape shows you setting off the fire alarm anyway. The tape will show them exactly when the alarm goes off, and if you're the person standing right in front of it when it did, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what happened.
