Currently open tailgating is allowed for the general public and students on Y Beach where grills and of-age-drinking have been deemed legitimate.
Free buses will also move tailgaters to the front of the Stadium on a regular schedule before, during and after the game.
Boyd said that she is meeting with Robinson, Associate Vice President for Student Affairs George Smith, and Vice President of Student Affairs Gail DiSabatino to ensure that there is future conversation about student tailgating and that the appropriate parties are workings towards a long term solution.
Boyd said she is confident "that there will be a successful resolution to the general student tailgating situation," later stating that some form of resolution must be reached to ensure that students have a location to tailgate without the pressure of having to join IPTAY.
Boyd said that she was not contacted about the taking of the parking lots and that when she contacted the University they were already taken.
Boyd also said she is unaware of any conversation that willingly relinquished the parking lots from University control.
When it comes to the crux of the tailgating issue, Boyd said "IPTAY donors become significantly more important than all students."
