student position by Tony Romaine, student senate president, 3:35. This was struck
XI. New
Business
A. May term - David Bratt, 4:00 Mr. Bratt addressed A2C2. May Term would be additional summer session,
25 duty days. Does not have to be all
class time for those 25 days, but needs to accumulate the class time. Start immediately after grades turned in for
Spring, goes 7 days/week. Ends when 1st summer session starts. Students like to be able to take courses
right away in summer, and not lose income.
Mr. Bratt would like to know what courses would fit this model. His department goes to London to see
theatre. Issues- drop in summer session
enrollment? Limit students to one
class? Insurance coverage [for faculty]?
