Remarks Can be utilize if a staff is asked.
Whereas UTA does not offer a 24 hour quiet study computer lab.
Whereas Often times there are at least two or more students talking on their cell phones, listening to music on blaring headphones, and/or talking very loudly.
Whereas Many students use the computers in Ransom Hall for completing assignments with software that is not available 24 hours a day in other labs on campus and find it hard to concentrate with the noisy environment in Ransom Hall.
Be It Further Resolved That Ransom Hall provides a quiet study computer lab on the second floor with a quiet environment for students 24 hours a day who are trying to concentrate.
Be It Further Resolved That This quiet area is enforced by not allowing talking on cell phones, voice instant messaging, blaring headphones, or loud talking.
