In the latest of a series of actions by students, faculty and staff urging the removal of asbestos insulation from buildings throughout the University. 301 Law School students signed a petition yesterday demanding the extraction of the hazardous material from Law School facilities this summer.
Students who organized yesterday's petition charged that the asbestos insulation is peeling and crumbling in Langdell Library, the Law School's underground tunnels, and its student dormitories, said Diana Zalph, a first-year law student who helped arrange the event.
Finger filed an initial petition against New Haven last month, charging the city with negligence in controlling the crowd at the game.
Residents called for last night's forum after B-School administrators failed to address their grievance, organizers said. Nearly 90 percent of building number one residents signed a petition demanding that the barriers be removed, said Jared W Bush, a complaint coordinator.
"There could be modifications," said Cyndy T. Golant, who supported the petition. "What really annoys us is that they [the administration] haven't even acknowledged our complaints," she added.
