There will be a GSG Student Affairs Meeting this coming week - announced
on the forums - that will have everything discussed. Including, but
not limited to:
Parking Increases: DBK had it wrong, only 2$ was for the 'Jump Start'/Pit
Crew service. The rest is the normal increase.
Parking Other: MetroChek and Pre-tax parking fees for Graduates on
University Payroll (all assistants) - where it stands, and when it
will be implemented.
Bus Routes: ONLY the nite route was changed to Grad. Hills/Grad Gardents
(5pm on). Being that ridership is SO low at this time, door to door
service is cheaper and better for everyone in the long run. It's not
worth having a bus run that route to serve a very limited number of
people (by very limited, I mean less then 10).
Parking Preference: Motions are in order to give all graduates preference
in parking over all undergraduates and be assigned parking PRIOR to
any lotteries occurring. Some issues still exist as to whether or
not this should happen for ALL grads or just assistants.
Tuition Remission: No comment. It does not appear to be moving at
all forward (removing it) and action is already being undertaken.
Prior to some move being made by Annapolis/etc. I cannot reasonably
'move' on this aside from supporting protests, voicing our opinion,
etc. On another side, however, I will immediately submit legislation
calling for a GSG backed Graduate Assistant strike if this does occur.
