A Faculty vote yesterday officially ditched the probation penalty for students who don't pass the language requirement by the end of their fifth term.
Earlier in the term, the Student Council approved the proposal. At that time, Dean Bender explained that "the punishment does not fit the crime," and added that since attendance is not taken in upper class courses probation does not mean too much.
The Student Council last night approved a proposal to ditch the probation penalty for students who don't pass the language requirement by the end of their fifth term. The measure, suggested by the College's Committee on Educational Policy, will go before the faculty later this month.
"The punishment does not fit the crime," Dean Bender told the Council. Since attendance will not be taken the upperclass courses this year, he added, probation would not mean much.
Students on probation must attend all classes, Ducey declared. Individual instructors may also warn any student taking too many cuts and expel him from the course if not satisfied with his subsequent attendance.
