From the Paper:

"The campus of George Brown College has a recognized problem with parking for student and staff alike. Not only is their insufficient parking at the George Brown College, Saint James campus, but the parking that does exist is poorly managed and unfairly mediated by campus parking services. It has been determined that unless these issues are rectified in an equitable manner, they will manifest a long-term negative impact on the overall reputation of the college as well as potentially impact student registration levels. The fact of this negative impact of parking services on long-term student enrolment and performance has been substantiated in other academic research studies which have shown that such issues as campus parking form an important component of the overall academic environment of a college or university that directly impacts both student and institutional performance (Karemera, Reuben & Sillah). These issues should be taken very seriously by the college administration at risk of long-term enrolment and viability."
