     We are currently rethinking our handicapped parking policy here
at George Mason University.  Our Campus Access Committee will be
considering the following proposals:

     1.  Remove the distinction between "severely" and "regualar"
handicapped parking.  (At present a number of "choice" spaces are
reserved for severely mobility impaired students who transport
themselves to and from class.)

     2.  Grant long-term handicapped parking permits solely on the
basis of possesing a Department of Motor Vehicles handicapped parking
permit granted by a state.

     3.  Assign the responsibility of reviewing applications for
short-term permits to the Office of Disabled Student Services.
(Appplications would have to be accompanied by a "doctor's note"
attesting to the need for "close-in" parking.)

     I would appreciate any comments as to what is done at other
universities and any opinions you may have on these proposals.
