The LSU Office of Parking, Traffic and Transportation will implement a new process for hearing parking violation and towing appeals beginning August 15.
The new system will create two separate peer appeal boards – one for student appeals and one for faculty, staff and visitor appeals.
Student Government passed a resolution to petition for a student appeal board. Previously, only one board existed.
The student appeals board will be comprised of 17 members – 8 appointed by the SG president, 8 appointed by the speaker of the Senate and one position for the University Court chief justice, who will chair the board.
Four members of the student board and the chief justice must be present to hear appeals. If the chief justice is not available for an appeal hearing, another University justice may be appointed.
The two boards will not hear appeals for reasons such as inclement weather, tardiness to class or an appointment or lack of knowledge of regulations.
Appeals will have to be submitted within seven days of the reported offense.
All decisions by the appeal boards will be final.
