                           Document # 2

                             1985-86



	The Senate recommends to the Chancellor that faculty 
	parking citations be disregarded upon receipt, by the 
	Chief of Security, of a letter from the faculty member 
	affirming that such parking was necessary in order to meet 
	class on time, except when parking violates safety
        regulations, handicapped parking, interferes with the
        flow of traffic, or when a valid parking sticker is not
        displayed.


	Rationale:

	Parking is a necessary precondition for teaching, i.e., 
	completing the terms of the faculty member;s contract.  The 
	present policy of giving parking citations to faculty 
	members, along with the formal court-like appeal process, is time 
	consuming, taking away from the faculty member's professional work 
	time degrading to all concerned, and leads to bad feelings between 
	the faculty and security officers.
