This season, the Big 12 transitioned from an 18-game-league schedule to a 20-game slate that runs from the end of December through the second week of March. With Big 12 schools as far west as Utah and as far east as West Virginia, playing in three time zones in a short period is a norm. Although the league has plans to move back to a shorter league slate next season, teams are feeling the effects heavily.

Arriaga and Craig promised to prioritize three things: cheaper parking, a safer campus and increased support for students.

However, there were several challenges to these promises, including impeachment recommendations, controversial firings, a mandate from the Division of Student Affairs and the SGA’s competency as an organization.

There is no connection between the robberies and the sexual assault.

In order to combat the rise in crime, UH has doubled the amount of security officers on campus. Security is now stationed at six of the parking garages and 10 lots.

“Additional security personnel are on bikes and carts patrolling all of campus, including all parking areas and high-traffic areas,” the email said.

The crime on Feb. 11 that involved a student held at gunpoint at the bus stop in front of the Rec Center is in the beginning stages of the investigation.

UH students have already taken charge with Deeds not Words hosting a protest at Butler Plaza on Wednesday, today, at 12 p.m. There has also been the emergence of Coog Escorts who will plan a buddy system for students walking late at night.
