Harvard launched a campus-wide text message alert system last month for students, faculty, and staff that enables administrators to send messages to participants’ cell phones in case of emergency...
...phones is almost nonexistent. After move-in the phones were usually placed in a closet or drawer and very rarely seen again until move-out.” Asked whether the removal of the room phones might pose a hazard in case of emergency, Nelson referenced the new campus alert system to be orchestrated this year via text message.

But it's been high for years anyway, because France - like the U.S., U.K., Germany, and most others - is a prime target not for what we do, but what we represent. None of this is new, and unfortunately each new attack or attempt is only...
