Correction to the Minutes of March 14, 2005
The changes pertain to the UPC report.
The last sentence in the Discussion on the motion currently reads:
The motion was approved; the current policy will be extended for one year, through the
06-07 academic year.
Revised text:
The motion was approved; the suspension of classes in recognition of Muslim Holidays
will be extended for one year, through the 05-06 academic year.
Discussion: On May 3, 2004, the Senate approved a motion to accept the suspension of
classes in recognition of Muslim Holidays for the 2004-05 academic year, while Senate
Bill Number 0304-28 was sent back to ULC. No change in the calendar policy
concerning suspension of classes on religious holidays was approved on that day.
Consistent with the May 3, 2004, motion, the 05-06 academic calendar (as posted on the
UA website), does not include suspension of any classes in recognition of Muslim
Holidays. The approved one-year extension therefore requires appropriate changes in the
05-06 academic year calendar, and does not apply to the 06-07 academic year. For
purposes of formulating a preliminary calendar for the 06-07 academic year, the policy
governing the calendar prior to the 2004-05 academic year remains in force, unless the
Senate passes legislation requiring an alternative calendar.
