Suggestion Program Feedback “RIT’s Suggestion Program is a new initiative and given its purpose and implementation thus far, we believe the program has merit and should be seen as an open means of allowing anyone the opportunity to exercise creativity in sharing ideas that will lead to improvements at RIT. ” -Academic Senate, Academic Affairs Subcommittee, Provided by Christine Licata “I like that it mandates the users show savings to the Institute so that it limits the program from being used as a complaint tool. In my personal usage it was nice to help clear up a misconception on what does and does not save energy with the HVAC systems. ” -Michael C. Bice, FMS “Although the (x) suggestion did not become a reality, I think there was value in the suggestion and the review of a potential (x) program as part of RIT’s daily parking activities. Taking the time to thoroughly review the idea was beneficial and helped us to determine its cost model and challenges. The suggestion program is a good idea and I think it should continue. ” -Randy Vercauteren, Parking & Transportation “Positive feedback: There is a quick response to the person who submitted the suggestions in email form from the committee thanking them for their suggestion. ” -Karen Overmyer, Student Auxiliary Services
