Parking fees are unjust
As an older student who has a family, mortgage, and other responsibilities, it seams unreasonable for Mines to charge for parking considering the very limited housing community in the city of Golden. The practice of charging students who cant afford to live close to Mines campus an additional fee (parking pass) to attend classes is dishonest to say the least. This dishonesty is multiplied with the fact that the City of Golden has made it illegal to park near campus if you don't live in the City of Golden.
Solutions:
1) Don't charge students to park on campus.
2) Charge all students in their tuition fees.
3) Have a designated no pay parking lot still central to campus that is first come first serve.
4) Develop a map of the campus that shows multiple locations in close proximity that is free to park, to include the City of Golden's regulations.

Seems like charging all students would be more unjust to those who don't use cars
