3.1 The Parking Penalty Appeals Committee shall be composed of five (5) members and a chairperson appointed by the Vice President for Administration and shall consist of representatives of faculty, staff, and students.  Each appointment shall be for one (1) year.

 3.1.1 A quorum shall consist of three (3) committee members, in addition to the chairperson.  The decision of the majority of the members present shall control.  The chairperson shall vote only in the event of a tie.  The committee shall have the authority to confirm, void, or modify citations.
