Senate Bill 126, also referred to as Collin’s Law in honor of Collin Wiant, an 18-year-old man who died in a hazing incident in 2018, tasks the Chancellor of Higher Education with developing a statewide educational plan for preventing hazing at all of our institutions of higher education. Earlier this year, Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio General Assembly sent a clear and direct message to everyone affiliated with colleges and universities in our state – taking important steps necessary to bring an end to hazing must be an Ohio priority. I think he'd tell you the same thing.Statewide Educational Plan for Preventing HazingĪt Institutions of Higher Education IntroductionĪcts of hazing have occurred at campuses across the United States for far too long, leaving physical, psychological, and emotional scars that seldom heal quickly. “You would never want to hire Jeff Bezos as a carpenter. “I went out and replaced the hardware on the desks Bezos built,” Lovejoy said. The servers sat atop door desks built by Bezos, which Lovejoy described as “pretty wobbly.” Lovejoy says back then, all of Amazon ran on a pair of computer servers affectionately named Bert and Ernie. “They would shake, they would rattle, you would have to use cardboard underlays to even them up so they wouldn't shake so much,” he said. So long as the scrappy solution works.”Ī year later, Joe Kearney joined Amazon and quickly found himself building and working on the makeshift desks. “A lot of the things that we do are scrappy by nature. “We built door desks because it was the cheapest way we could support a desk,” said Lovejoy. More than 20 years later, thousands of Amazon employees worldwide still work each day on modern versions of those original door desks.
What neither of them knew at the time was that the scrappy, do-it-yourself desk would turn into one of Amazon’s most distinctive bits of culture. With that, the Amazon “door desk” was born. “He looked at desks for sale and looked at doors for sale, and the doors were a lot cheaper, so he decided to buy a door and put some legs on it.” “We happened to be across the street from a Home Depot,” said Lovejoy. Bezos’ friend and employee number five, Nico Lovejoy, says Bezos himself found a scrappy, cost-effective solution right outside their doors. It was the summer of 1995, back when Jeff Bezos could count his Amazon employees on one hand and those few employees needed desks.
