I can say with a 100 percent certainty that nothing is happening. I know some students complained when we first made the change, but [the policy] is rolling along. |
I don't think it will be a very large effect. |
The General Education program does a good job of building breadth for students at the University and we don't need to add more to it. You've got the upper level and the language strengthening, and I think you have to lighten up on this other little piece. |
The Provost is the one who made the decision for the campus. So the change would have to be made in her office. |
There is some feeling that the small separation between add and drop deadlines is not very helpful. [Students] can't petition [or] find faculty over the weekend. It could be that we [will] have the drop deadline and add deadline all on Friday or Sunday. That way we won't tease students. |
