PARKING AND TRAFFIC
Parking and traffic regulations provide an equitable system for the handling an
enforcement of university traffic regulations.
Q. How do I obtain parking facilities at the medical center?
A. Parking facilities are extended to all employees of the university, upon
payment of the required fee. The university requires the observance of all traffic,
parking and safety regulations.
Q. What if I receive notice of a violation of these regulations?
A. Violation of any of the Parking and Traffic Regulations of Duke University will
result in a fine being levied and/or other disciplinary action being taken in
accordance with Employee Work Rule #11.
Q. To whom do I pay a fine levied on me for a violation of these regulations?
A. Fines should be paid at the Office of the Bursar within 10 calendar days
following the violation.
Q. What are the results of failing to pay a fine?
A. Failure to pay fines, or to arrange for payment by payroll deduction will
necessitate referral to Payroll for collection from your earnings. Fines that have
accumulated due to failure on your part to register the vehicle should be paid at the
Office of the Bursar within 10 calendar days following notification or you may
establish a payroll deduction program within the 10 day period to satisfy the
obligation. (Minimum bi-weekly payroll deduction is $20).
Q. How do I establish a payroll deduction program?
A. You may establish a payroll deduction program by contacting your supervisor
and signing the appropriate payroll deduction form. Your supervisor will forward
the completed form to the Payroll Department.
Q. Can I appeal the penalty for violation of these rules?
A. Yes. You have the right to appeal the penalty during the first 10 calendar days
following the violation by making payment and filing written notice of appeal at the
Bursar’s office. No appeal will be accepted after 10 calendar days following the
date of violation.
Q. Is there a limit to the number of violations for which I can be cited?
A. Yes. When you receive over three tickets for traffic violations during a
12-month period or if you are a continuous violator of traffic regulations, you will
be referred to your department head or designated alternate for appropriate action.
Permission to maintain or operate a motor vehicle on the campuses may be
revoked in cases where habitual violations occur, and where counseling fails.
LETTER FROM A READER
Dear Sir:
Being a student in the Medical Technology Program at Duke I enjoy reading the
Intercom. However, I have become disturbed about the lack of interest and articles
concerning lab personnel. Do you realize that there are nurses and other hospital
employees who do not even know who medical technologists are and what they are
responsible for?
Medical technology as well as other allied health professions are fighting for
recognition as emerging professions. I hope you can help us do this by having
some relevant articles to educate the hospital about us. April 13-19 is Medical
Laboratory Week.
I sincerely hope that you will take full advantage of this opportunity to have some
articles and information. Why don’t you send your camera to some of the labs and
“corner the Med Techs at work?” Thank you for your time and the Med Techs thank
you for your interest.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Medical
Technology Student
We agree that laboratory personnel don’t receive enough recognition for their
"behind-the-scene ” efforts, and we promise to devote more space to them in future
issues. Thanks for writing.
