IGTIGT Phase I Summary Statements - Draft 2/18/11

Summary Number: 27
 
Increase positive interaction between the community and the University and seek to mitigate some of the impacts of the University on surrounding neighborhoods
 
 "The U of A is such a fabulous resource, but I feel like I'm missing most of it. When my daughter was at ASU, in the school of fine arts, I got a weekly email about all the arts presentations on campus. I asked at U of A if they had such a thing, and they didn't. It seems like it would be good for students to connect their work to the 'real' world, and for Tucson to connect to the students."
 "Work with the University of Arizona to make it more accessible to local residents."
 "I�d like to see U of A become a part of the community."
 "Many neighborhoods near downtown and the university are experiencing the encroachment of development for student housing, specifically 'minidorms,' much to the detriment of the neighborhoods and values of houses proximate to the new development. These are clearly not 'single-family' housing units."
 "Change the University's destructive behavior toward surrounding neighborhoods."
 "The UofA is an 'icon' for community health. 'Do all our childen know how & why we brush our teeth?' UofA should continue to contribute to our community."
