We, as students at Xavier University, recognize the importance of this presidential election on November 4, 2008. Thus, we are asking for leniency from professors if students miss class on that day. If a professor has an exam scheduled or a major assignment due, we ask that this professor consider moving the respective exam or assignment to another date.
Without the threat of being penalized for missing classes, students will be able to go to the polls in Cincinnati or drive home to cast their votes. By expressing an understanding of the studentsâ
I am currently reaching out to individual department heads to discuss these policies. Send an email to your professors today to ask for flexibility on that day.
