Internet outages at NJIT Tuesday and Wednesday

I had a reprieve from jury duty on Tuesday to find a major internet outage at NJIT.  As of 7 AM today services were not restored.  We were able to access the internet outside of NJIT, e-mail, the Highlander Pipeline, Moodle and other services were not available.  I could not enter grades for the quiz given to Math 225 students.  We had to go through the "back door" to show students how to get to the databases.  I am on the late shift at NJIT today and don't have to be at work until 12 noon.  Hopefully, the system will be rectified by then.  We don't realize how dependant we are on the internet until we can't accesss it.

I thank the IT people at NJIT for putting extra hours into rectifying this problem.
