Sipes explained that one problem with the current schedule is that instructors have away from the standard times, so we’ve had conflicts of students not being able to take certain classes because of course overlap. She added that we’ve also gotten to a point where now TR 11-1pm is not inviolate because now classes have begun bleeding over into that block of time, so students can’t attend convocations. Thus, Academic Affairs is proposing a move to a MW/TR schedule, with Fridays left over to activities. This would give students time on Fridays for tutoring sessions, and it would give faculty time for professional development, all-day assessment activities, or research days. Academic Affairs wanted to present this to the faculty and get faculty feedback. This system would work for 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-hour classes that don’t have labs. There may be occasions/exceptions to this schedule, like for nursing, etc. Those exceptions would have to be written up and approved by the Provost; he is going to accommodate what faculty need, but the goal is more structure across the board.
A Senator asked, so students will not be required to do anything on Friday if they choose not to? The Provost replied, yes. The Senator responded, how will that keep students on campus on the weekend?
