Parking Permit Policy Change

Graduate students from several departments have recently raised objections to Parking Services’ new policy which no longer allows graduate students to deduct parking pass payments from their before-tax income (payroll deductions). GOG recently sent a letter to Dean Heinzelman on behalf of concerned graduate students regarding these changes. To read the letter and/or comment on this issue, please visit the GOG Advocacy Forum.
