Q: One of the top 10 issues on college campuses is lack of adequate parking space. As a result of student complaints, UW Whitewater administration has decided to convert more of its campus space into parking lots. The two largest spaces on the campus are the Prairie Restoration Area and Nature Trails and the Outdoor Athletic Complex, which includes the track, soccer field, and football practice fields. Obviously this has created a conflict on campus, with various special-interest groups lobbying for the parking lot to be built elsewhere. Using the information provided above, answer the following questions:
Who are the stakeholders involved? Remember to include both internal and external stakeholders.
What might be some of the special-interest groups involved? Identify them.
Come up with your best argument to preserve your area of the campus (yes, you must choose one of the two) and have the parking lot built elsewhere. Remember to base your argument on facts and take into consideration all of the stakeholders involved.
