The General Education program does a good job of building breadth for students at the University and we don't need to add more to it. You've got the upper level and the language strengthening, and I think you have to lighten up on this other little piece.

In general, the university does not release [personal identifiable information] to third parties without students' consent, although there are some exceptions.

There is some feeling that the small separation between add and drop deadlines is not very helpful. [Students] can't petition [or] find faculty over the weekend. It could be that we [will] have the drop deadline and add deadline all on Friday or Sunday. That way we won't tease students.

I can say with a 100 percent certainty that nothing is happening. I know some students complained when we first made the change, but [the policy] is rolling along.

The function of the university is not simply to teach breadwinning, or to furnish teachers for the public schools, or to be a centre of polite society; it is, above all, to be the organ of that fine adjustment between real life and the growing knowledge of life, and adjustment which forms the secret of civilisation.

There is no higher priority for those who chose a university career than acting in the students’ best interest. That’s because students are the core of the university.
