We, the undersigned, 


Regret that the abolition of Reading Week has resulted in a shorter term, with less time for student respite and reflection;


Object to the unusually dense concentration of deadlines and internal assessments of this past term that we feel have resulted in a much more stressful learning experience with less opportunity for critical reflection on course content and increased anxiety in the student body;


Fear that the new semester structure has undermined our ability to pursue the extracurricular activities that form an integral part of the renowned St Andrews student experience;


Welcome that this change to the academic calendar has resulted in the scheduling of exams for before the Christmas Break; and,


Understand the many logistical difficulties inherent in scheduling the term dates, which limit University action;


Therefore, we the undersigned,


Call upon the Students’ Representative Council to lobby the University to ameliorate these concerns in the short term with the ultimate goal of the restoration of a Reading Week in the long term.
