Senate to discuss grade designation

From Staff Reports

The University Senate will meet at 2:30 p.m. today in Stewart Center, Room 302 to discuss the withdraw/failing grade designation and to hear a presentation from provost Sally Frost Mason.

Linda Mason, professor of entomology and chair of the faculty senate, said the senate will discuss changing the withdraw/failing grade. The change would eliminate the failing aspect of the grade and remove it from a student's graduation index in their grade point average.

Mason also said the provost would be the guest speaker at the senate meeting. She said Frost Mason will discuss her priorities and plans for her first year as provost. The strategic plan will also probably be discussed.

During the meeting, the faculty senate will also hear reports from some standing committees and will discuss a revised constitution for Purdue's North Central campus so it can eventually become autonomous.
