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
f
aculty, 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
it
emizing parking-related costs and income and the Administration's thoughts about areas
f
or possible future parking-related cost savings and expenditure delays.
