Changes discussed
Complaints keep week lively
By Tabitna Hiner

Dead Week may not be as dead
as some students think, but student
and university officials disagree as
to whether something should be
done about it.
Stacy Mohling, first vice presi
dent of ASUN, said that most stu
dents assume that new material
can’t be introduced during the week.
Complaints often arrive at the As
sociation of Students at the Univer
sity of Nebraska concerning this
and other matters exempt from the
policy.
“A lot of students think you can’t
have a quiz during the week,”
Mohling said. “However, a quiz
doesn’t take up a lot of a student’s
time.”
The Dead Week policy states
that final exams are to be given
during the regularly scheduled time
or another time during finals week
that is agreeable to everyone in the
class; that the only exams during
Dead Week are laboratory practi
cal, make-up, repeat or self-paced
exams; and that projects, papers
and speeches scheduled for com
pletion during Dead Week must
have been assigned in writing by
the end of the eighth week of the
semester.
“The (Dead Week) policy isn’t
there to keep professors from fin -
ishing," she said. “It’s just meant to
reduce stress.”
Complaints about a professor
violating the Dead Week policy
can be taken to Mohling who then
invest igat.es to see if there has been
a violation.
As of Tuesday, 10 complaints
had been reported to the ASUN
office.
The appeal system does work,
but Dead Week policy needs to be
changed, Mohling said.
The biggest flaw in the policy is
that it doesn’t carry over to finals
week, Mohling said. While the in
fringement upon students’ finals
time has not been a problem this
semester, Mohling said it was a
dilemma last spring.
Mohling said the issues of new
material and carry-over to finals
week should be addressed.
