Susan Sadler has asked the Campus Calendar Committee to assist in minimizing absences during crucial times like exams, midterms, etc. Faculty members and students don't always know their rights with regard to the attendance policy. A subcommittee of Senate could develop a handbook for full-time and adjunct faculty to clearly state the policies. No, although to do so might point out some the difficulties attending such a policy. We're following NCAA and are stricter.
Academic requirements supercede everything else.
Outcomes must be negotiated. We therefore have the power and privilege to go forward with discussion. The suggested revisions to the Notice of Motion have been incorporated. We need to move point by point through the motion and, given adequate discussion, decide on how we're to handle the Core Proposal that Provost Zaranka will present to Senate, so that we can vote at first meeting in May. Pt. Sampson moved for approval, Best seconded.
