FIRE Website Back Up After Hardware Failure
As you may know, the FIRE website has been down since late Monday night. We apologize to all those who rely on our website and The Torch for timely and interesting information about liberty on campus. There was a hardware failure at our hosting service, and FIRE's website lost all of its updates from Monday, for the first time in a decade. The good news is that we are up and running on a new server and will be able to replace every bit of the lost information, so we expect that the problem will be completely resolved sometime today. Sorry for any inconvenience. Hopefully we'll go at least another ten years before this happens again!
