Agenda Item: Review
of Department of Recreation Leisure Studies grade appeal policy to make sure
that it's in line with the revised university policy.
Discussion: Allison
Danell had compared the two documents and reported on
some differences: the RCLS policy lacks
sufficient detail to guide the student through the appeal process, the chain of
command differs, and the wording leaves open the possibility for a student to
ask for an exception to departmental policies.
Action Taken: The
committee felt that it would be better for the Department of Recreation and Leisure
Studies to refer students to the university policy instead of having a separate
policy.
Assigned Additional Duties
To: Joseph will report back to
RCLS.
