Student employees at Safe Ride have filed multiple complaints against UA Parking and Transit over recent policy changes that they say are discriminatory and damaging to the organizationâs operations.
Most of the complaints concern a scheduling practice implemented in late October that prohibits international student employees with F-1 visas from working more than 17 hours per week, even though they are permitted by federal law to work up to 20 hours per week.
Safe Ride is a nighttime shuttle service funded by the Associated Student Government and administered by Razorback Transit, which allows students to request safe transportation to their homes from anywhere in Fayetteville. There are six regular student employees on the Safe Ride staff.
