| Remarks | FAILED - President Witt in a memo dated November 6, 2000, stated that "I cannot conclude that the circumstances that led to financial losses and elimination of the yearbook in 1982 have changed." |
| Whereas | The University of Texas at Arlington has not had a yearbook since 1982; and |
| Whereas | Student Publications suspended the UTA yearbook due to lack of student demand and unacceptable financial losses; and |
| Whereas | Most Universities with the same size and "commuter school" characteristics of UTA have a yearbook; and |
| Whereas | Members from the Greek Community, the Corps of Cadets, and many of the dormitory residents have stated their support for a yearbook. |
| Whereas | UTA has the facilities, and needs only the money to start and fund the programs; and |
| Whereas | The cost of the yearbook could be included in fees and everyone would receive a yearbook or students could prepay for the yearbook, and the journalism department could provide staff as part of their higher education classes. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | UTA establish a Maverick yearbook; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | That the yearbook staff be assembled immediately and a yearbook be created for the academic school year. |
