Remarks FAILED - Not fair to other students and could be abused.
Whereas Upon graduation many students hope to be accepted into medical school or another graduate program; and
Whereas This often requires an interview scheduled months in advance in a block format so as to provide an inflexible schedule for the interviewee; and
Whereas Not all professors are accommodating to students concerning the scheduling of or ability to make up tests.
Be It Further Resolved That Interviews for graduate, medical, or law schools become university excused absences thereby enabling the students to complete any missed material.
