Very good school, however the parking situation and there staff are a joke. It seems like UTK's hiring strategy for parking officials is to find the laziest and most incompetent people available and give them jobs. With limited commuter parking and a plethora of staff and non-commuter parking spots available, the parking officers make it their life duty to punish everyone who cannot find a commuter spot, since they are constantly filled and require you to get to campus 30-40 minutes early just to find a spot, and take out all of the pent up aggression they have at their meaningless lives and take it out on the students. But hey, even though everyone was begging for more parking, at least we have a giant student union that 12% of the school uses regularly. And on the even brighter side if you do have a legitimate excuse for doing what you did, when you call and try to appeal, they just mouth breath the words "you knew the rules".
