UC 2010 InitiativeConcept Survey Results
• Overall student response was more positive than most might have anticipated given the Economy, hurricane Ike, etc.• Concepts A & B identified “support” at above 60% each; however many of the comments identified a major concern as these (particularly Concept A) were “throwing good $$$ after bad”.• Concept D (the new University Center) had ”support” at 55%, but also came in with the highest negative percentage (26%). Concept D also received the largest number of negative concerns ranging from the loss of parking for students, convenient parking during nights and weekends close to the UC for events and programs, and the sense that the ending fee was just too high.• Over 70% of UH students indicated very likely or somewhat likely support for Concept C (The UC Transformation Project). Breadth of support across most demographic student groups, as comments seem to suggest this Concept was a good compromise of the options. Concept C also had the lowest percentage (12.24%) of students in the category that said “I would not support this concept”.
