Notes: Academic Senate meeting, June 2

What happened: Changes to the grade retention policy were discussed by the Academic Senate. The statute of limitations of the policy may be decreased, but the procedure to petition for grade changes will remain the same. The Academic Senate is administering an informal survey to all faculty members in order to reach a conclusion.
Why this matters: Students will have less than seven years to petition to change their grades if the Academic Senate decides to change the grade retention policy. Some oppose the change because communicating the information to past students may be difficult. However, some favor the change because if the instructor is no longer present, the responsibility lies with the dean of the department, who may not have all of the documentation.
