As the debut of the school year comes to a close, many students, faculty and staff are speaking out about our campus’s overcrowded parking lots.
With 79.5 percent of all undergraduate students commuting to campus, according to a data set compiled by the Office of Institutional Effectiveness for the 2014-2015 school year, many have difficulty finding parking spots. Long walks to class from remote parking lots coupled with Alabama’s customary 90+ degree temperatures has drawn criticism to UAB Parking and Transportation.
