Three separate incidents of individual students getting stuck in the north stairwell of the Little Building were reported to ECPD. The resident tap desk on the second floor was closed. When the three students each walked through the closed door the door closed behind them, barring from exiting the stairwell without assistance or setting off an audible alarm. The door was opened and the students exited without injury.
