Furthermore, the state funding is uncertain as the state has in the past threatened to cut special allocations. An additional shuttle route was added in 1995 - 96 when Housing overflow resulted in the placement of students in motel rooms away from campus. This additional expense was charged to Housing, which contributed to Housing's significant financial loss. This continuing Housing loss cannot be maintained indefinitely. To solve the Housing overflow problem, off campus apartments have been used and a large new apartment complex is being planned near our Heiman street offices at the extreme eastern edge of the main campus.
All housing is no longer as convenient to the main campus.
The operation of key administrative offices at Heiman Street has always caused transportation problems for employees and students. No good answer exists for students. Student enrollment has continued to grow causing increased crowding on the shuttles and placing additional demands on the shuttle service. Related to the growth have been the changes due to the Master Plan. Blocking of John Merritt Boulevard and new landscaping near buildings has made parking and transportation more difficult for many.
