Harvard College has scheduled over 30 fall term final exams for January 20th, 2009 -- the same day as the Presidential Inauguration of President-Elect Barack Obama. Inauguration Day is a federal holiday (for DC-area employees) and, more importantly, a deeply meaningful time for Americans all over, young and old, Republican and Democrat. This year is an especially historic moment in which we deserve the right to fully participate, and we are asking for institutional support from Harvard College and the Registrar's Office to do so. We are petitioning for all 2000+ exam takers with final exams that day (not accounting for overlaps) to have a make-up option, either before or after Inauguration Day, if they choose to travel to DC to attend the ceremonies. We would like this matter decided before the December holidays. Join our Facebook group to stay updated: http://www.facebook.com/group.phpgid=36011372741
