Dear President Pollack,
I would like to convey the Student Assembly’s 40th resolution of the year to you. This resolution recommends the formation of an ad-hoc committee of faculty and students, charged with exploring inter-departmental exam-scheduling coordination, increased student consultation, increased faculty communication, a reconsideration of the 24-hour rule for final exams, and general transparency concerning exam scheduling procedures.
Resolution 40 is A Comprehensive Investigation into Cornell Exam Scheduling.
This resolution acknowledges the discrepancies and complexities of scheduling exams at Cornell. This resolution asks that the Faculty Senate work with Cornell Health and undergraduate students to investigate possible solutions to the problems tied to exam scheduling. The resolution also recommends that topics such as the 24-hour rule, scheduling of exams during religious holidays, and exam conflicts with other forms of evaluation be investigated.
Thank You,
Jordan Berger
