Among the student body, easily, and with good reason. Their scumbag field employees don't help their public image, either. I know they get decent training, but I see very few who adhere to it out when there are no supervisors to watch them. Additionally, their vehicle-use policies are completely atrocious. On a campus that is increasingly aware of 'green' issues, seeing pickup trucks sitting with the engines on and heaters running full blast for 20 minutes at a time while the driver idly wanders around a parking lot shows an astonishing level of irresponsibility. There is no reason that Parking needs pickup trucks in the first place; they barely even have an argument for everyone needing motor transportation. They should be using Smart cars or golf carts or something, in conjunction with fuel-efficient coupes, or rechargeable cars like the City of Ames purchased. They certainly don't need to leave them running while they go out and issue tickets. That is ridiculous.
