A (BRIEF) BRIEF ON THE SITUATION: 

The AQ has been known for countless runovers and walking traffic incidents. Since the dawn of time, and everywhere on earth, people have walked on the right side of the hallway. Everywhere but SFU. This is causing some major emotional and physical damage, with 50 students being involved in “got run into by a person walking on the wrong side of the hallway-and run” encounters. Here is a victim’s testimony

“Last Monday, I was on my way to Classic Shakespearian Lit [ENGL 312] with an extra-large vegan cucumber coffee in one hand and my own personal copy of Romeo and Juliet (the smut edition) in the other. Out of nowhere, I was violently run into by a HOOLIGAN who was walking on MY side of the hall. It was a horrible attack on my life and the sanctity of the AQ. This ought to be ILLEGAL!” — Anonymous SFU arts student

As an officer with the AQ Accident Control, you will be tasked with enforcing the right way of the hallway rule for all students.
