Faculty to weigh calendar proposal Nov. 4

Faculty will take up discussion of a revised proposal for a semester calendar on Tuesday, Nov. 4, at 12:30 p.m. in the F. W. Olin Center Auditorium.

The meeting, which was to have been Thursday, Oct. 30, was postponed by the Faculty Executive Council at the request of members of the Academic Affairs Council, which prepared the proposal.

"The (AAC) has been working exceedingly hard this whole term and they have now finished a revised calendar proposal in light of the input they received from faculty and students," said Clifford Brown, chair of the FEC. "Since it contains revisions and further explanations, they wanted the faculty to have adequate time to examine and consider it before the debate opened."

If necessary, discussion could continue on Nov. 5 and 6, Brown said.

After discussion, the FEC will have a paper ballot, perhaps the week of Nov. 10, Brown said.
