Though University Health Services' Dunbar Lab has committed at least seven workers and a $200,000 budget to an asbestos removal program over the past eight years, ironically it was a plumber on routine maintenance--not a health inspector--who discovered exposed asbestos insulation in a bathroom in a freshman dorm two weeks...
