Subject: FACULTY & STAFF PARKING FOR 07 - 08 SCHOOL YEAR
Submitter: Krista Young, Communications and Parking Manager, Public Safety

Message: It’s time to think about parking permits for the 2007 – 08 school year! Public Safety, in our efforts to improve the parking permit process for everyone on campus, listens to feedback from the campus community and engages a Parking Committee to make minor adjustments to improve the overall parking experience at Augsburg.

This fall, based on the feedback we received, we plan to make the following five adjustments:

1. Hangtags will be smaller and provide basic parking information

2. Permit registration will be completed 100% online

3. Permit sales will begin for all faculty and staff on August 1st

4. All faculty & staff who complete their online permit registration by August 6th will be placed in a drawing for giveaways of 2 free year-long parking permits

5. Instead of being mailed, permits will be available for pickup in common campus areas at set dates and times, and will also be available 24/7 from the DPS Communications Center in the Urness/Mortensen lobby

Public Safety is also adding a full-time staff position (Communications & Parking Coordinator) to the department for supporting customer service.

Additional information for permit registration will be available through e-mail, A-mail, postal mail, and online at our Public Safety website beginning July 1st.

Thanks to all faculty and staff who provided parking feedback over the past year – please keep letting us know how parking works for you! To voice ideas or ask questions, please e-mail us at parking@augsburg.edu.

Have a great summer!

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PROCESS OF SELECTING THE NOMINEE(S) FOR DEAN OF THE COLLEGE? PLEASE PROVIDE THE RATIONALE FOR YOUR VIEWS.

The quality and thoughtfulness of the responses have deeply impressed us and made us proud to be part of this institution. We hope that by 5 pm, Friday, 1 June, even more of you will take this last opportunity to weigh in on this important matter.

Even if you have spoken publicly about your views in the past or talked with members of the Committee, we need you to make your views known directly and officially to the Committee in writing. Please note that the SNDC Committee is interested in the reasons behind your position, so that we can better understand faculty views about the process for selecting the Dean. All responses will be read only by the SNDC Committee; the President and the Interim Dean will not see them. They will be treated confidentially by all Committee members.

Responses are due by 5 pm, Friday, 1 June. They may be submitted either by e-mailing deansearch@augsburg.edu or by submitting a hard copy to Lois Bosch (CB 253), Nancy Fischer (CB 116), or Mark Strefeler (CB 230).
