| Remarks | FAILED - University President Amacher said "I do not have any problem with this" on March 20, 1994. |
| Whereas | Students who appeal UTA parking tickets are expected to pay the fine immediately, even when the ticket is pending appeal; and |
| Whereas | Exacting said fee prior to resolution of the appeal constitutes the "(deprivation ) of (personal) property without the due process of law" (14th amendment, U.S. Constitution); and |
| Whereas | There exists a database for maintaining the status and scheduling of appeals; and |
| Whereas | The business computing system (Bursar) has the ability to manage an effective date for a given transaction, not merely the date of entry (or upload). |
| Be It Further Resolved That | The business and /or police computer systems be revised such that the status for PENDING code be added to existing program structure. |
