nationwide student day of action
Next class let’s discuss how we’d like to approach this (November 2nd is a Wednesday).
“At its meeting of September 22, 2016 the Senate approved a resolution declaring November 2, 2016 – on which date a nationwide student day of action will be held – a day of academic accommodations with the specific request
that all course directors be asked through the Deans/Principal to: avoid scheduling exams, tests, presentations or other work on that day and to establish reasonable extensions of deadlines for other graded work due that date and to provide reasonable academic accommodations to students who choose to attend the November 2, 2016 Day of Action, including reasonable alternative access to materials covered during their absence.
I ask that you distribute this information widely and quickly so that course directors, other instructors, staff and students are aware of Senate’s decision. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions about Senate’s declaration or this correspondence.”
