Students expressed concern about Foley's policies on student athletics and the type of programs she would be willing to look at for athletic departments. Foley answered most of the students' inquiries with examples from Florida Atlantic. Another concern was equality among men and women's sports at EMU, an issue for some students on the panel who felt some of women's sports, like basketball, volleyball and swimming, had lower attendance than most men's sports. But as far as that, I am not that sure what my role would be regarding equality between men and women sports. Another question that was posed to Foley was what type of things she would do to help student safety.
Students can never be completely safe.
There are certain things that could be done such as making sure every walkway is fully lit, making sure every parking lot is fully lit, and making sure there is a police presence on campus at night. Those types of programs are very important to me. Foley was not surprised by a question pertaining to the parking problem and said it is an issue at most universities. I have a pretty good understanding of the problem with student parking. As far as a new parking structure is concerned, we would literally have to double our revenues in order to pay for a parking structure.
