Faculty COUNCIL


Welcome to the University of Houston Faculty COUNCIL

Welcome to the pages of the UH Faculty Council website. Here, we hope you will find the informational resources you are looking for. Our goal when developing and managing this website is to bring under one umbrella a variety of links and resources that might impact the day-to-day work of a faculty member. Of course, we wish to also provide information on the workings of the faculty council itself and on all the proceedings and documents related to the council committees. In that sense, the council website is designed to be both “outward-looking,” that is, a resource for UH faculty and “inward-looking,” that is, a resource for faculty council members.

MAPP 09.04.02 – Bicycles and Scooters on Campus
Questions have recently arisen regarding the University’s policy on bicycles and scooters (MAPP 09.04.02). We appreciate your help in reinforcing the following key expectations with students and visitors:

Responsible Operation. Bicycles and scooters must be operated in a safe and courteous manner at all times. Riders are expected to yield to pedestrians, follow posted traffic signs and signals, and avoid reckless or obstructive behavior.

Parking Requirements. Bicycles and scooters must be parked and secured only in designated racks or approved parking areas. They should not be attached to handrails, poles, trees, benches, or other campus structures, as this can create safety hazards and impede access.

Use Inside Buildings. Bicycles and scooters are not permitted inside campus buildings, except when being transported directly to an approved storage location (e.g., an office, designated storage room, or residence hall room). They should not be stored in hallways, classrooms, or common areas.

Items found in violation of these guidelines may be removed in accordance with university policy.

If you have questions, please refer to MAPP 09.04.02 or contact Facilities/Operations for additional guidance. You may also report violations using the QR Code.
