series concerning attendance re • gulations university accountability for students through the taking of at tendance will be discussed tuesday the revised attendance regulations proposed by arcadia xxi have been ignored by the faculty's educational policy committee according to theodore r breton 68 co-chairman of arcadia xxrs academic policy committee required attendance and university slimtm»h«»y for students through attendance were the two areas revised in the arcadia proposal of nov 29 arcadia proposed liberalising atten dance requirements by extending the relatively new section vlof the attendance regulations to sophomores and freshmen section vi applied originally only to junior and senior honor students 3.0 cumulative average or better but the faculty extended it to all juniors and by educational policy committee seniors two years ago it now states that all junior and senior students shall be exempted from the university rules regarding class attendance except as those rules apply to attendance at scheduled examinations quizz.es or special exercises and make-up work following absences from such examina tions quizzes or exercises before section vi existed juniors and seniors were expected to attend all classes and regularly scheduled academic exercises after the legislation of section vi juniors and seniors were given rsspoi sibility to decide for themselves whether or act to attend mast classes only seminars laboratories and classes of participation were excluded theore tically the spirit of section vi encouraged involvement in and not mere attendance at classes in practice because section vi legislates in what charles w bremen dean of students terms the gray area of professorial academic freedom not all professors comply with the spirit of section vi those professors who had allowed unlimited cute before section vi now legitimately do so any professor who wished to require attendance despite the spirit of sectioc vi can consider ms class a special exercise glenn j christensen provost and vice-president points oot that speciai exercises have never been defined and that it is the responsibility and right of the professor to set the attendance rules ior his course ■ the arcadia revision of section vi extends ths present practice of profes sorial determination of attendance policy to freshmen and sophomores witnout famciously implying a university policy of unlimited cuts arcadia's revision states all students must fellow the regulations set down by their instructors ln regard to attendance m scheduled examinations quizzes or special exercises and make-up work following absences from such examinations quizzes or exercises the arcadia revision continues the policy of sending daily freshman atten dance reports to the registrar so that the dean of students can keep track of freshmen not attending classes and may can them in for coimigeting purposes the arcadia revision however removes from section in of the attendance regu lations the provision allowing work neglect notices to be issued solely tor rea sens of poor attendance in rest rente to the present ear fi on vi dean brennan cannot see where it has hurt on the surface he is in favor of extending section vi to sophomores but not to those oa maaesitc probation kichard g iiemwrcer vteuffinui uf the faculty educational policy com mittee is in favor of the gradual extension of freedom to students between their freshman and senior yewm he believes that by the end of the freshman year a student knows whether he has to go to class or not malsberger has no objections to extending section vi to sophomores see u aides page 10
