Campus brief

Napster ends yearly contract with AU

Napster has terminated its contract with all colleges, including AU.

In an e-mail to AU Housing and Dining Programs, Napster said it was ending its nationwide on campus program with all schools this year.

Rick Treter, director of residence life for Housing and Dining, said AU's contract with Napster started in 2005.

AU is currently looking into alternative legal music options that students can use to download music, he said.

"Right now, we're looking at doing a survey to determine what other options are available to students," he said. "Between student suggestions and what IT can help us with, we can determine what [service] to get."

Treter said he was unaware when the survey will be available to students and does not know how long it will be before a new service replaces Napster.
