Subject: Unexcused Absences Author: Alex Billioux [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:58:50 06/11/01 Mon I believe we should drop the distinction between excused and unexcused absences. In a fifteen week semester, 3 weeks is a pretty substantial amount to miss (1/5). If you know you will miss more than 3 weeks, you whould reconsider membership in the Forum Council.

[> Subject: Re: Unexcused Absences Author: Mike C [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:16:07 06/18/01 Mon I think we still need a distinction between excused and unexcused. It's possible for someone to miss a meeting and still do their job. Perhaps some clause stating that three unexcused absenses is grounds for immediate removal, but after three excused absenses, the council has the liberty whether or not to discuss the resignation of a member. That way, the council is not stuck kicking someone out who has otherwise done their job. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Good distinction Author: Alex B [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:52:24 06/18/01 Mon I agree with the need for the distinction as long as it is put in the terms you set forth. 3 unexcused is immediate dismissal, 3 excused calls for a discussion on whether the member is doing their job.
