Student input lower
due to faculty timing ByWilliam Lasser
The facultv's decision on Wednesday to table a motion which would
move the drop date to the fifth week of the term is the latest in a long
series of actions which have tended to limit student input into impor-
tant debates.
One who was looking for a conspiracy would find, if not evidence. at
least indications that this pattern has been deliberate. Several con-
troversial and unpopular administration and faculty moves over the
past fe, years have occurred 1) during exam week or 2) over the sum-
mer.
The issue , as raised at the Wednesday meeting when a professor
commented that deciding the drop date issue at the December faculty
meeting would tend to decrease student participation, since that con-
vocation conveniently occurs on Dec. 21, smack in the middle of final
examinations.
Several cases in point in which action was taken at a time
inconvenient for student reaction come to mind:
