| Remarks | Committee felt that it is not the right time to ask library to invest in the lockers. There is a lot of construction going on in the library and that is their priority. This issue could be visited later in the future. |
| Whereas | The University of Texas at Arlington has around 35,000 students enrolled, and this number is increasing gradually every year; and |
| Whereas | A huge percentage of the student population is considered commuters, around 85%, which means unlike people who live on campus, they do not have a place on campus to put their stuff in; and |
| Whereas | They have to carry their textbooks, laptops, lunches, or even sometimes change of clothes to work out in or for class presentations, all day in their heavy backpacks; and |
| Whereas | Many students sometimes feel discouraged to bring these times to campus because they don't want to carry them around all day; and |
| Whereas | This ultimately decreases student efficiency and involvement on campus as they become ready to go home to get rid of the heavy load. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | The University of Texas at Arlington provides lockers for students to be rented out for the day, similar to those at amusement and water parks. |
