| General Body Vote | Thursday, January 1, 1970 |
| Committee | Academic Affairs |
| Result | n/a |
| Remarks | Committee felt that allowing students to opt out of shuttle fees will take valuable shuttle services away from the student body. Committee further felt that many students on campus use the shuttle services and taking them away would negatively impact the whole campus community |
| Whereas | There are over 35,000 students at UT Arlington; and |
| Whereas | only a percentage utilize the shuttle bus; and |
| Whereas | the University has imposed since 1977, under TEC 54.512, a shuttle bus fee on ALL students; and |
| Whereas | this fee, cited as mandatory, is unfair to the majority of students who do NOT utilize the shuttle bus; and |
| Whereas | this constitutes an unfair tax on the majority of students, who do not utilize the shuttle bus. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | A student body general election be held to discontinue TEC 54.512 in favor of a VOLUNTARY fee chosen at registration. |
