Whereas To prevent dangerous situations from occuring, installing emergency phones on campus at the parking lots would be beneficial; and

Whereas The design of the emergency phone booth would provide a direct phone call to the UTA Campus Police such as a button with an intercom; and
Whereas Proper lighting should also be provided; and
Whereas The phones would be useful in case a student felt unsafe, car problems, witness to a crime, etc., and students who do not have cell phones would benefit if they needed help.
