9. Parking lot preemption

9.0 The Chancellor of the University of Kansas or his designated representative is authorized to create, modify, or preempt parking in controlled areas of the campus. Any such area shall be manually controlled or posted with signs stating the type of permit or restrictions pertaining to the use of the area.

9.1 Requests for Parking Preemptions. Any department wishing to have a parking lot preempted must submit a request in writing to the Chancellor detailing the nature of the event, date(s), time(s), and parking lot(s) involved. If the preemption is approved, details on staffing, costs and signage will be determined by the Parking Department.
