A number of violations of the policy were identified, as well as a lack of clarity on the nature of the policy on the part of the Athletics Department. In order to support the efforts of the Athletics Department to bring their scheduling of games into compliance, C-AAA has investigated the impact of allowing Athletic events to be scheduled on the Sunday of the beginning of End Quarter period. It is the general culture and belief among many on campus that End Quarter begins on Monday, not Sunday, and revising the policy would have little impact on students. Neither the Drama nor Music Departments would be much affected. Drama as a rule does not allow productions from Monday on and seldom on the first Sunday of End Quarter.
Music generally has events only as part of scheduled classes as announced on syllabi.
Since Athletics has not been clear that the Sunday at the beginning of End Quarter period was off limits for scheduled games, athletes would experience little change in having that Sunday made available for scheduled events. Protect the same amount of time each quarter from all but voluntary student activities. By opening the first Sunday of End Quarter to athletic events in Fall and Winter Quarters, the new policy will reduce the pressure on Athletics to schedule games during the following week and week-end.
