In fairness to students who perhaps were unaware of the revised paper deadline policy when they enrolled in courses during the summer, the curriculum committee has delayed implementation of the new policy until this coming spring 2010 semester.One reader emailed us pointing out what he viewed as an inconsistency in this rationale:
EXPLAIN how this would not apply equally to people who enrolled in courses during the summer for the spring 2010 semester?Verily - although there's another add/drop round coming up in January, it's tough to ask students to juggle around their courses given the vagaries of switching up their schedule at that point.

Props to Rosey and the rest of the SBA for coming through on this one.
SBA did a good job here. Thanks Rosey and Roland.
Chang we can believe in!
99.9 percent of the time the SBA is completely useless - this has to be the best thing they've done in over a decade.
what is this "SBA" everyone is talking about?
1:55 = Rosey
9:29 = Roland
Confirm/deny?
11:32 = everyone else
Why didn't the SBA do anything for the people who are enrolled in paper courses for the spring semester? Were there really no SBA members/buddies of SBA members who were enrolled in a paper course next semester?
Maybe they did push for spring, but the administration nixed it because the "we didn't know before it was too late" argument was even more bullshit in application to spring enrollment. (Paper deadlines were announced before add/drop ended in the fall).
And maybe they were concerned for those students who stood to lose from the decision-- the ones who had made plans that entailed not spending a free month working on a paper without the constraints of classes and other exams.
Thank you, SBA, for raising the quality of work expected from me this semester.
LIKE 7:15 ASKED ... CONFIRM/DENY?!?!?!?!?!?!?
2:55 it was your mom?
4:45 we're in middle school?
