Parking policy criticism driven by students

By Mary Specht · Thursday, Nov. 4, 2004

Representatives from AU's Graduate Leadership Council and the Washington College of Law's Student Bar Association voiced concerns about the vagueness of AU's off-campus parking policy in a meeting with administrators Thursday. "There's nothing in writing in [AU's] 'good neighbor policy' that says, or that would even allude to, what students should do in regards to parking," said Zen Hunter-Ishikawa, executive chair of the GLC. "I realize that the university is taking the 'good neighbor policy' and applying it to parking.

"What we do have is a blood sport. And it's called politics." What followed was a political debate in which experts discussed the implementation and impact of President George W. Bush's re-election. They covered a range of topics, from voting machines to partial-birth abortion, from ads to administration, and from voter turnout to congressional redistricting.
