Student Absences Procedure Studied
The College Staff met yesterday to discuss "purely procedural matters" with the Registrar's office about reporting excessive absences of students.
"We were concerned with procedures used in following up absence reports" said Francis Heller, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. "For instance, when should we summon a student, and how many absences should be reported before a student is called into our office?"
Dean Heller said that there is no official policy on approved class cuts. All students are expected to attend all classes and all faculty members are expected to report students' absences, he said.
"Students who are repeatedly reported absent are heading for scholastic trouble." Dean Heller said. "We are re-examining our procedures for spotting those students in time to help them."
