collected and uses this money for
various campus activities, which,
of course, benefit the students.
The Business Office is merely in
charge of collecting the money
that the students pay.
What the Business Office staff
is NOT in charge of, however, is
receiving the abuse given by
many students who want to
reconcile their tickets. If students
are too lazy to read the parking
rules and regulations or simply
ignore them, then they deserve to
face any penalties involved with
the violations. With a campus
enrollment of over 1000 in
dividuals, parking provisions
must be developed and enforced.
