Basically I will look into thccom plaint and sec if a violation has been committed." she said. “If it has. then I will contact the professor to correct it. If not, I will contact the student and tell them why there is no violation.” Strong said her evaluation of the complaints would be based on the Association of Students of the Uni versity of Nebraska policy. The following rules arc included in the ASUN Dead Week policy: • Tests may not be given, with the exception of library, practical or self paced exams. • No projects, papers or speeches may be due during dead week that arc not assigned in writing by at least the eighth week of the semester. • Final exams for full semester classes arc to be given only at the regularly scheduled time or another time during finals week that is mutu ally agreeable to all concerned. • Students who have questions or complaints about dead week can pick up complaint forms at the ASUN of fice or relay them to Dave Temple, - it I like to try and do things on a one-on one basis between students and profes sors.
