Parking Permit Rules At K U Address Lot Shortage
K U faces a 720 stall parking area with 540 permits issued as a theory to avoid congestion. Alderson, parking committee chair, says spots near work sites are scarce but edge lots sit unused as drivers find nearer destinations. The committee grades permits on disability, distance from campus, and essential car use during employment hours. Violations carry fines, with potential student court action and possible enrollment penalties. Other campuses impose harsher penalties, but K U aims to adjust rather than harsherly punish.
