The administration has decided to reverse the mandatory health curriculum requirement for both lowers and uppers. This outcome reflects the necessity of including student perspectives in decisions that directly impact our daily schedules. We should remain attentive to how future academic policies are shaped to ensure our time remains respected.

Exonians,

Recently the faculty have voted overwhelmingly in favor of implementing mandatory health classes for lowers and uppers. These classes would be meet two times a week and take away one of your frees to do so. We are petitioning to have these classes removed as they add stress to students and were implemented without the opinion/input of the majority of the student body. Please sign to take a stand and oppose this decision.

Thank you,

Your concerned classmates

The feedback coming in highlights how much pressure the current workload already places on students during their free blocks. I am currently organizing these concerns to present a clear case for why the administration should reconsider the necessity of these mandatory requirements.

Reaching this level of support confirms that the frustration regarding our academic freedom is widely felt across campus. It is becoming increasingly clear that the administration must consider the student perspective if they wish to maintain a functional balance for our community.

I am a current prep hoping to receive the classics diploma who plays a varsity/jv/double rostered sport every season and with this new element in my schedule how am I supposed to audit Greek?? Exoians are busy enough as it is.

Health Class prevents students from maintains a healthy social life, an essential aspect of both mental health and the Exeter experience.

Rather than adding more classes, we should be trying to use the class time already given more efficiently.

Health class is supposed to teach healthy habits, but how is it healthy to stay up an hour later doing homework when I lose a free?

I think this is a poor idea because we already took a year of health plus senior health. its unneeded and a waste if time

We have a limited amount of time, especially in upper year. Health classes cost us time and sleep, so we get lectured to about our health at the cost of it. There is no reason for this
