The Humanities and TLC Faculty Parking Lot Closure
Sign Now
We, the students at The University of West Georgia invoke our right to petition the newly created closing of the parking lot between the Humanities and TLC building. We feel this endangers the personal safety of ourselves as well as visitors to our campus. Music Majors and Art Majors frequently use the Humanities building after dark. Taking away our rights to park here hinders the learning experience. Music majors carry heavy equipment or instruments such as tubas, and percussion equipment, etc..., from their respective cars to Humanities often. Art majors carry art portfolios, canvases, and sculptures, etc..., as well. Often times there are a series of concerts or exhibitions within The Humanities building that are attended by visitors to our campus. The loading area of Humanities often serves as a means to get objects out of inclement weather swiftly as to not ruin such objects as expensive instruments and art works. Greek organizations frequently use this lot for they have meetings in any of the buildings within walking distance of the lot in question. Quite often, the persons that use this lot after dark are females that are alone, disabled, etc... Some students park here for it is the closest lot to the campus center which sees much activity after nightfall. The use of the lot by faculty personnel is greatly reduced after 5:30p.m. and therefore the use of the lot would not be maximized.

I have a class from 5:30pm until 8:30pm and when I leave I do not feel safe walking to my car by myself and having to make the extra walk down to the Pit I feel is just putting more students, exspecially women at risk for a dangerous situation.

My parents do not approve of my 7-9:45pm advanced painting class being held so late. They, along with my boyfriend, are frequently concerned with where I am parking on these nights. I have been followed on campus before (by the Boykin sorority building).

I am up at the university late for at least two nights a week and our campus is not the safest place at night. If one is leaving the campus then one is going to feel nervous about alking to the TLC, Townsend Center, or the Pit.

The lot needs to be open for student/visitor parking after 5:30. I have often had to carry very heavy materials from long distances for night graduate art classes.
