Sorry, but I have to jump in on this one...... Parking is cheap here at
U.T.C. compared to downtown businesses and other Universities across the
state.  We could work at Provident and pay $40.00 to $80.00 a month to
park. Also why should faculty and staff (who get paid to be here) get a
flat rate and students (who pay to be here)pay the high price??????
