The Student Government Association (SGA) Senate heard a student concern about parking lots after snowfall and approved 13 out of the 14 Budget Advisory Committee (BAC) recommendations at their March 7 meeting.
Brittany Baugh spoke to the senate about how parking lots remain dangerous even after delays and closures.
She offered five possible solutions: close campus if Facility Services cannot keep up with the snow, allow Facility Services to continue cleaning the campus while students are not on campus, recruit more Facility Service workers for parking lot and road keep up, get more plows for Facility Service carts and trucks or hire an outside plowing service.
The senators told Baugh that they would reach out to Facility Services and attempt to solve the problem.
