A crane damaged the flag pole on the Quad while installing a green roof on the Mary Graydon Center March 5.
AU is currently working with insurance agencies to determine if the pole should be repaired or replaced, according to William Suter, director of Facilities Management.
The owner of the crane has acknowledged the company’s fault, Suter said.
A crane’s cables snagged the pole, Suter said. He doesn’t know a timeframe for when the flag pole will be repaired or replaced.
The American flag did not sustain any damage in the incident, according to Lt. Rima Sifri of the Department of Public Safety. The flag is in Public Safety’s possession until the pole is fixed or replaced
