Senate Policy on Women's Remembrance Day
In May 1998 Senate approved a policy to commemorate
Women's Remembrance Day.
The policy encourages the administration to facilitate
the planning and funding of activities appropriate to Women's Remembrance
Day through the Office of the Adviser to the University on the Status
of Women.
The Senate policy also encourages faculty to
highlight Women's Remembrance Day in their classes and to incorporate
in their classes, as appropriate, some of the issues facing women,
particularly violence against women. The administration is asked
to support the development of workshops to assist faculty with their
preparations.
Classes are cancelled between the hours of 11:30
am to 1:30 pm on December 6 or on an alternate day identified by
the Office of the Adviser to the University on the Status of Women.
Information about this policy is provided to
students in publications such as Calendars and Lecture Schedules.
The University community will also be informed in advance of activities
associated with Women's Remembrance Day.
