I don't think Linda meant that we should get to pay a cheaper price than
the students. I interpreted her letter to say that "parking" is ridiculous
here! And it is! I don't know about lots of other universities across the
state, but I do know of one who only charges faculty, staff and students
only $20/year....Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, TN. And there is
adequate parking there also, close to your building, etc. Students,
however, do have separate lots from faculty and staff.
