The higher the temperature gets, the higher the rate of parking tickets going out. Parking tickets on campus are getting ridiculous.

Numerous people are upset about the parking tickets being issued.

Yes, people who park in the handicapped spots should be given a ticket, but the majority of the tickets are from parking in the parking lots by the library or by the University Center.

I believe if we paid $26 for a parking spot then we should be able to park anywhere we want.

What’s the use in having stickers on our cars if we are going to get a ticket anyway? For example, why is it that we can’t park in between Austin Peay and McCord?

People park in between Browning and Ellington all of the time, but I get a ticket for parking somewhere where I pay rent.

There have been plenty of days I would come back to campus and not have a space to park in. I have even seen people without a parking sticker parking on campus by the dorms. It is also not fair that the faculty and staff parking outnumbers the student parking.

There are way more students on this campus than faculty and staff. Many people that I have talked to say they believe that the only reason that they give so many parking tickets is because of budget cuts and because the police have to reach a certain quota.

I think the school should really do something about this before it gets out of hand.

We as students should be the number one priority.
