Student Body President Matt Perry and Student Body Vice president Maree Horne addressed the recent difficulties with parking on campus.
After a discussion with President Bob Helmer, Perry said it was the “influx of first-years” that led to first-year students with enough credit to be allowed to park anywhere on campus. The Fairgrounds Lot, typically used for first-year students, does not have enough space for all incoming students.
Perry said that when he met with President Helmer about potential solutions, he was told that there are “plenty of parking spots on campus” and that “walking is good.” Both Perry and Horne said that they will be in discussion with Campus Access Services to address the issue, especially as winter approaches.
