Said one dean "We know the kids are going out and getting drunk on Thursday nite and then not showing up for class on Friday. Since we can't make headway at getting them to class and failures and incompletes look bad, we've decided that participation in Friday class is not mandatory and cannot be held against a student missing the class. We encourage the professors to schedule non-course related lectures and film strips for Fridays so students will not miss any valuable course related infomation. Quizes and exams on Fridays are strictly forbidden"
Said one professor , "Making the Friday class completely irrelevant and doing away with any consequences for absence on Fridays is following a proven liberal theory of no punishments with hopes of encouraging participation and attendance."
Please note the above is satire though unfortunately life can and will imitate art.
