Whereas, the Student Government Association, working with the Students for Environmental Awareness, compiled a comprehensive list offering environmentally responsible alternatives for the administration to consider jointly with the auxiliary services proposal written by Mr. George Stafford;
Whereas, SGA submitted copies of these alternatives directly to Auxiliary Services, the President, and the University Council;
Whereas, Dr. Knapp, in his final decision has only agreed to implement Mr. Stafford's original proposal, with the understanding that the 'feasibility' of bike lanes is to be studied at some undetermined date and a carpooling program pilot project is to be studied;
Whereas, this decision by Dr. Knapp displays that the administration has a low level of concern for the environment, and an almost non-existent concern for student needs,
The Student Government Association strongly disagrees with the decision rendered by Dr. Knapp, regarding the parking proposal. The fee increase places an undue burden on the student body, and the parking 'remedies' that these inflated fees are designed to cover are inadequate. The future of student mobility and environmental stability is at stake, this policy must be reconsidered.
