School: Vandalism Damage at UNA Could Cost $50K
The University of North Alabama says a round of campus vandalism will cost thousands of dollars to clean up.
The school says graffiti was found Wednesday at the construction site of a new Science and Technology Building. Red spray paint covered parts of the building’s exterior, and more graffiti was inside, on construction equipment and on a nearby overpass.
Assistant Vice President Michael Gautney says just cleaning up the paint could cost from $5,000 to $8,000, and contractors are already working on it.
He says replacing items could cost as much as $50,000 if removing all the paint isn’t successful.
No one has been arrested. The university is offering a reward of as much as $1,000 for information leading to an arrest.
