Whereas, the Faculty Handbook states in section 3.1.7 that "Class meeting hours at the University of Delaware follow the standards adopted by most colleges and universities. For a three credit class, this is typically three, 50 minute weekly meetings on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday sequence for a minimum of 41 class meetings during the fall and spring terms. Three credit classes meeting on the Tuesday-Thursday sequence will meet for 75 minutes for a minimum of 27 class meetings."; and

Whereas, the word "typically" is missing in the sentence about Tuesdays and Thursdays; and

Whereas, the Faculty Handbook states in section 3.1.6 that "The University's Academic Calendar in fall and spring semesters will normally contain 68 instructional days followed by a final examination period of at least 6 days.

Resolved, that the word "typically" be added to make the sentence in section 3.1.7 read as follows: Class meeting hours at the University of Delaware follow the normal standards adopted by most colleges and universities. For a three credit class, this is typically three, 50 minute weekly meetings on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday sequence for a minimum of 41 class meetings during the fall and spring terms.
