According to Gilroy, in the past, the OUPD used to issue warnings the first three weeks of school. During those last weeks of school, the OUPD was writing thousands of tickets. Now, when ticketing instead of warning, the OUPD is issuing far less tickets as a whole. There is a fair amount of time spent on parking enforcement. Patrolling the lots is a priority, but not the most important.
Consistent enforcement leads to compliance.
That's all we want. At its last meeting Jan. 31, the Board of Trustees gave its go ahead for OU to begin stage one of building new student apartments on campus. The apartments will be built in the field between Walton Boulevard and The George Mathews housing for married students. The apartment project is divided into two parts. This first part is a preliminary design stage, where Capstone Development Corporation and OU will focus on finalizing design concepts and establishing a maximum price for the project.
