| Remarks | IMPLEMENTED - Memo from President Witt dated February 29, 1996, states that this resolution will be implemented. |
| Whereas | Students enrolling in class are often unaware of the actual course content due to generalizations in the catalog, etc.; and |
| Whereas | Students would be better served if they knew from the beginning what would be required in any given class, in order to avoid any possible conflict; and |
| Whereas | Courses generally do not change radically from one semester to the next; and |
| Whereas | This would hopefully reduce the number of Add/Drops that occur at the beginning of each semester. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | All university academic departments be required to post syllabi from each class offered prior to the beginning of advisement and registration; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | That syllabi should include but is not limited to texts, grading criteria, and course overview; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | Should an instructor not be assigned to a section upon appointment their name should be posted immediately and their syllabus posted within three weeks of the first day of class, whichever comes first; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | Technique of the posting shall be up to the individual department; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | That this resolution take effect no later than the spring 1996 semester. |
