Whereas the [Faculty Senate Academic
Standards] committee has determined a high incident of student absenteeism and
faculty cancellation of classes immediately prior to the Thanksgiving recess,
1980, and whereas this condition is counter productive to the purpose and
practice for which the academic process exists... it is hereby resolved that all
members of the community, students / faculty / administration consciously commit
themselves to the importance and necessity of attending and holding all classes
as scheduled, particularly in that period of time immediately preceding
mid-term, Thanksgiving, and Easter recesses.
