The UT Seal, located on Pedestrian Walkway, is one of the many traditions at UT. This week, students surrounded the seal with cones and asked students to respect the long-standing tradition by not walking or biking over the seal. They handed out flyers asking students to “show that we respect this university enough to go out of our way not to step on its symbol.”
