Paper S-85

ts

iv

To: Senate

From: Registrar

21 November, 1967

Subject: Release of Information

on Grade Distributions

The attached request from Notre Dame University

/of Nelson is one of a number which we receive in the course

of a year.

In addition to other Universities requesting

information on grade distributions, the students at

Simon Fraser would, I think, be interested in these figures.

Certainly in a recent Student Affairs Committee meeting the

students seemed quite interested that these figures were

tallied, and were keen on having permission to see these

figures.

Since we are very often interested in securing

this kind of information from other Universities, and since

for some purposes such as the evaluation of Regional Colleges

it is most important that we receive the information, I would

recommend to Senate that the Registrar .be permitted to release

the distribution of grades for all courses at Simon Fraser

at his discretion.
