What you have now (quick diagnosis)

• Your “Demands” read like categories ("Allocation of Money", "Student and Faculty Support", "Approval from the WVU Board of Governors") rather than yes-or-no, measurable demands.
• You listed 3 demands, which is an okay maximum, but they need to be concrete and winnable within a reasonable timeframe.
• Your target is a named decision-maker (good), but the current demands imply decisions that may sit with different authorities (budget owners, transportation operations, and possibly the Board).

How to improve the demands

1) Turn each demand into one clear sentence that can be answered “yes” or “no”

Use a pattern like:

• “[Student group name] demands that [decision-maker] will [specific action] by [date], at a cost of $[amount].”

Right now, each demand needs specificity:

• Allocation of Money → how much money, for what program, by when, and who pays?
• Student and Faculty Support → what exact support (endorsement, staffing, volunteers, training, funding), and what is the measurable output?
• Approval from the WVU Board of Governors → this is usually a step in the decision chain, not a demand. If the Board truly must vote, treat that as a target escalation and name the members you need.

2) Define the solution (late-night mobility) in operational terms

Pick the concrete “thing that changes” for students.

Examples (choose one):

• Late-night shuttle service on specified nights/hours with defined routes.
• Subsidized rideshare vouchers with a cap per ride and eligibility rules.
• Extension of an existing transit route’s service hours.

3) Match each demand to the lowest-level target who can say “yes”

Carrie Showalter may be able to champion or implement, but you should verify who has authority for:

• Operations (transportation/logistics)
• Budget (funding authorization)
• Policy / governance (only if required)

If the Board is a real decision point, identify:

• the minimum majority you need
• 1–2 likely allies to start with
• 1–2 persuadable “swing” members

Example rewrites (templates to adapt)

These are illustrative templates. Replace placeholders with WVU-specific names, dates, and costs.

• Demand 1 (funding): [Group name] demands that WVU funds a late-night mobility program for students ([shuttle OR rideshare subsidy]) running [days], [hours], starting by [date], at a cost of $[amount] per semester.
• Demand 2 (implementation): [Group name] demands that [operations decision-maker name + title] publishes routes, stops, and a service plan for late-night mobility and launches a pilot by [date].
• Demand 3 (accountability): [Group name] demands that WVU publishes monthly metrics for the pilot (ridership, wait times, service coverage, safety incident reports related to travel) and commits to a continuation decision by [date].

Fast questions to tighten this up

1. What exact model do you want: shuttle, transit extension, rideshare subsidy, or a mix?
2. What days and hours define “late night” for this campus?
3. What is the rough cost range, and which office budget would pay?
4. Who controls transportation operations at WVU (name + title), and who controls the budget sign-off?
