SENATE COMMFrIEE ON UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES 

20TH MARCH, 1075 

Date 

........................................................................................... 

Senators will recall that, at its March meeting, Senate 

agreed to a request from the Senate Committee on Undergraduate 

Studies to delay the deadline for submission of its report on 

Grading and Related Questions for one month. 

?

This request was 

made in order that student input, which, up to that point, had 

not been received by the Committee, may be considered before a 

final recommendation was made. 

?

At its meeting of 4th March, 

the Committee, having still received no input beyond a brief oral 

presentation by one of the student members, decided to proceed 

with its discussions and approved a final recommendation for 

forwarding to Senate. 

Subsequently, however, strong student representations 

persuaded the Committee to reconsider its recommendations; and, 

accordingly, at its meeting of 11th March, the Committee voted to 

. ?

reconsider its recommendations. A subsequent motion postponed 

reconsideration for four weeks from the date of the meeting so 

that further submissions may be received and considered fully. 

It is not therefore possible for SCUS to present recommendations 

on the grading system at this time and the Committee thus asks 

the indulgence of Senate in further extending its deadline. At 

the time of transmitting this request, it is not possible to 

predict accurately the amount of time required to bring forward 

a new recommendation; and the Committee therefore requests 

merely an 

-

extension of the deadline with the expectation that 

a more dl ?freiest can be made either orally at the April 

meeting or at the May meeting of Senate.
