Police have launched an investigation into the disappearance of a multimedia projector worth $7,000 from a classroom in Anderson Hall.
Students discovered that the projector, normally bolted to the ceiling of Anderson 208, was missing on Monday afternoon.
Bob Lind directs the Engineering Project Development Center (EPDC), which is responsible for maintaining equipment in Anderson. He said he will be contacting people who used the equipment to determine who saw the projector last.
"If we found someone that used it Monday morning, that would be different than if the last person that saw it was on Thursday," Lind said.
Lieutenant Domenic Pugliares, the investigating officer for the Tufts University Police Department, declined to comment on the investigation.
The missing projector created problems in classes which include multimedia presentations. "It's something that instructors use a lot," Lind said. "It's really beneficial."
Sophomore Greg Truhlar said the projectors are "a crucial part to many classes."
"They enable professors to show videos related to class as well as to display notes in an easy to read fashion."
On Monday, students in one class were due to make presentations, but the instructor brought in another projector and class was delayed by only 10 minutes.
