Bowling Green, OH asked in Civil Litigation, Civil Rights and Gov & Administrative Law for Ohio

Q: Is the question below legally allowed to be enforced by the University I am attending?

The University I am at enforced a new parking rule saying cars are not allowed to pull through a spot or back into it, all the license plates need to be facing the isle for the security cars to scan them. I feel like that’s a bit much and can the university really restrict the way in which a car is allowed to park in a spot?

A: A parking lot is private property, and the owner can impose any restrictions on parking, and tow vehicles that do not comply.
