THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA IN HUNTSVILLE
FACULTY SENATE
SENATE
RESOLUTION 09/10-02: INPUT AND REPORT ON
PARKING FEES
WHEREAS: Parking fees for this academic year are greatly increased, and
WHEREAS: The faculty and staff's compensation have not increased for some time,
causing added sensitivity to the
size of the parking fee increase, and
WHEREAS:
Members of the faculty, staff, and student bodies have reported
numerous
consequences of the large increase,
particularly in regards to
part-time
faculty, staff, and students, some of which could hamper academic units'
abilities to deliver courses, and
WHEREAS: More advance consultation with affected parties on campus would likely
have more fully-weighed and adapted to these consequences, and
WHEREAS: It is advantageous
to have better practices going forward,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED:
That all future parking fee adjustment decisions be taken only after
there are more earnest
efforts to collect the input of affected parties;
AND BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED:
That the Administration submit a written report to the Faculty Senate by
month-end
itemizing parking-related costs and income and the Administration's
thoughts about areas
for possible future parking-related cost savings and expenditure delays.
