The university said the ban was approved in March, but that the school didn’t publicly announce it until Monday, a week before fall classes are scheduled to begin.
In a move to protect public safety, San Diego State University has banned the use of virtually all electric and motorized versions of scooters, skateboards, bikes, roller skates and hoverboards on campus.
SDSU will allow students to use these kind of dockless devices to commute to and from SDSU. But riders won’t be able to operate them on the main campus on Montezuma Mesa. Debbie Richeson, the school’s Parking and Transportation Services director, said in a statement, “The new policy was enacted to ensure the safety of our campus community was a top priority.
The devices — particularly e-scooters — have been a source of controversy in many cities across the country, including San Diego, where city officials have started to regulate when and where they can be used. Some schools, including San Jose State University, have banned them outright.Bella Ross, editor of SDSU’s Daily Aztec newspaper, suspected that change was occurring last week when the scooter she was riding slowed as she approached campus.
