The university has officially agreed to cease the enforcement of parking policies within the Greek housing area. I appreciate the time each of you contributed to reaching this conclusion. We will continue to monitor the situation to ensure this commitment remains honored.
***CURRENT SIGNATURES AS OF 6PM- THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2005: 135***LET\'S KEEP GETTING THE WORD OUT
[EXCERPTED FROM THE CENTRAL FLORIDA FUTURE\'S INTERVIEW WITH JOHN CLARK, MANAGER OF UCF PARKING SERVICES]
FUTURE: What do you say to students who spend $2,000 to live on campus and end up searching for spots because of insufficient parking
CLARK: That\'s primarily in the Lake Claire Apartments. Lake Claire is right next to GREEK PARK. Students WHO RESIDE IN GREEK PARK TEND TO HAVE A LOT OF VISITORS. THEY tend to come in late at night or be out late at night and when THEY can\'t find parking spaces IN THEIR OWN PARKING LOTS, THEY tend to park in the Lake Claire lot. For that reason, the Lake Claire lots are pretty heavily enforced at night.
FUTURE: If a student lives in a fraternity or sorority house, why do they get ticketed in their own parking lot if they don\'t have a decal
CLARK: UCF requires, as I\'ve stated before, that in order to park on campus you must have a permit. That is regardless of whether or not you\'re in Greek Park. That is regardless of where you are on campus. Greek Park is a part of the campus.
The recent surge in engagement demonstrates that our community recognizes the fundamental unfairness of these parking enforcement policies. We now have the necessary momentum to challenge these administrative justifications with greater authority.

Total cash grab. The parking situation is a mess and they just want to make money off students. Fix the spots first.

Ridiculous. We already pay enough for tuition and rent without these predatory tickets on top of it. Leave us alone.
