Whereas:
Student Senate is elected by the Student Body to represent and voice the opinions of students;
and
Whereas:
Student Senate is a means by which student concerns are addressed; and
Whereas:
Student safety is a concern of the Baylor administration; and
Whereas:
The presence of uneven surfaces and potholes in the parking lot creates hazards for students
with wheelchairs and students who walk as well; and
Whereas:
The parking lot is used extensively by students throughout the week, and
Whereas:
The current state of the parking lot presents a significant risk to student’s vehicles as they
attempt to enter or exit the parking lot, and
Whereas:
Correcting the problems of the parking lot are in line with Imperative VIII of the Baylor 2012
Vision that states that the University "will give increased attention to the aesthetic value of
the campus […] ensuring that streets, walking plazas, landscaping and works of art form a
place that promotes community."
Whereas:
The parking lots immediately beside the Pan-Hellenic building and honors residential
colleges have fallen into disrepair and reflect poorly upon the physical image of Baylor
University; and
Whereas:
Said lots deserve proper and equal maintenance as other lots on campus receive; and
Therefore:
Be it resolved by the 56th Session of the Baylor University Student Senate assembled that the
parking lots near the Pan-Hellenic building and honors residential colleges be repaved in a
manner which reflects the beauty of our University.
Furthermore:
A copy of this resolution will be sent to Vice President of Facilities Brian Nicholson and
Director of Parking Services Shelley Deats.

Bryan Fonville, Student Body President
