## Resource

Southern University’s lights are back on after a weekend outage blamed on a blown transformer at the Clark Activity Center, but this isn’t the first time — previous blackouts have disrupted classes, highlighting a deeper problem: aging infrastructure and limited resources. Without access to advanced diagnostic tools, the university’s maintenance crew struggles to pinpoint issues, prompting Public Service Commissioner Davante Lewis to call for a full power study to identify weak spots. With budget constraints and growing campus needs, fixing the electrical system is a top priority — but money and age are making it harder to avoid future outages.
