Comments

  1. Janet Asper says

    I would like to see a written report from the committee on academic standing regarding the changes to the suspension policies. They are the academic committee on the front lines regarding these policies

  2. Marcel Rotter says

    The suggested changes to the suspension policies are rooted in a review and recommendation from the Committee on Academic Standing. It went from them to the UAAC.

  3. Marcel Rotter says

    A statement from the Committee on Academic Standing can be found in the agenda now. See III.1
