COVER STORY: PARKING WOES PLAGUE CAMPUS
Even the chief of police sometimes plans his day around parking.
When he's on official business, he can stop wherever the squad car takes him. But for mid-day errands or a lunch off-campus, he's a civilian like the rest of us.
“I have the same problem everybody else does. I end up parking on Sunken Road,” said James “Jay” Snipes, UMW director of police. “Until we get the parking deck built, there is just nothing we can do. Unfortunately.”
Snipes -- and most faculty and staff at UMW -- seem to be taking a “we're all in this together” approach to the storied parking woes in which more than 750 Fredericksburg campus faculty and staff vie for 493 spaces.
