Where can I find information regarding procedures for
hazardous waste disposal, batteries in particular?
Response : If you
are an individual, there are a number of places in Victoria
that will accept batteries for recycling.
See City of Victoria Recycling information at:
http://www.victoriatx.org/environmental/recycling.htm

What can I recycle in the
City of Victoria?
(we were told City Recycling
sites only accept car batteries)
Interstate Battery System Company, 5210 N. John
Stockbauer (near the Mall-- phone 572-9699) accepts any type
of battery, (auto, flashlight, etc) during their working
hours and they will dispose of it at no charge.
Also, many Radio Shack locations will accept household
consumer batteries (NiCad, rechargeable batteries, and
smaller single use batteries.) There are two Radio Shack
locations in Victoria, one on Navarro and one on Airline.

Criminal Justice Classes

There needs to be more cjs classes in the fall and spring
and not in the summer when people are trying to earn money
to pay for their classes. and less online classes. there
needs to be a variety of classes that are on peoples degree
plan
Response:
We must
have at least ten people sign up for an undergraduate class
or it will not make. Based on past enrollments, we feel
blessed to have eight CJS classes make in the Fall and
Spring. As for people making money in the Summer, the
majority of CJS majors work year round and have typically
already started a career in Criminal Justice. Online classes
help with enrollment numbers. Also, the rotating shifts of
students who work in the Criminal Justice field have created
blocked opportunities for face to face course offerings.
Personnaly, I miss the atmosphere of face to face classes,
but the world has changed and that method of teaching is not
presently lucrative at UHV's CJS undergraduate level.

Offerings

More classes should be offered. Many times there is only
one section of a class, and if you are trying to work out a
decent schedule you can bet on that class being offered at
the exact same time as another class. Also, more classes
should be offered at UHV instead of @ Cinco Ranch. UHV has a
lot of commuters from surrounding areas who are not able to
travel to Cinco Ranch. This is very frustrating for
students. From my experience @ UHV, I will not be
recommending UHV to anybody.
Response:
Like all
universities, UHV tries to provide a balanced schedule
within resources available. This means providing courses at
Victoria, at Cinco Ranch, at Sugar Land, and at various
other sites, as well as online, in a way that enables most
students to make reasonable progress toward their degrees.
Offering more courses or sections of them would require
more faculty and more classrooms, which would in turn
increase the cost to students and the state. So, trade-offs
and compromises have to be made, as in all other arenas of
life. But balance those as best we can, there will still be
conflicts, closed classes, inconvenient times, and other
frustrations that go with trying to make limited resources
serve the needs of as many students as posssible.

Can we please clean up the sidewalk and entrance area on
the west side of University Center. The bird droppings are
weeks old, there are weeds growing out of the bricks and
pavers, cigarette butts scattered around, the grass and
weeds need to be mowed around the pyramid, stains on the
bricks, etc. This area used to be kept extremely clean, so
we know it can be
done. Please give this area a little more attention.
Response:
Thank you
for your interest. We will address these and other
deficiencies as soon as possible.
