3 UW-Madison moved to the Early Calendar model with the 1972-73
academic year with Day 1 of classes beginning August 28, 1972.
This contrasts with 1971-72 when the 1st day of class for
the First Semester was September 13, 1971, under the traditional
calendar. Beginning with First Semester 1984-85, State law
required that the 1st day of classes not begin until after
September 1.
4 The AAC voiced the concern that when proposals are made
to delete or modify basic skills courses which serve the institution
as a whole, those schools and colleges being served should
be consulted before action is taken; policies should be reviewed
concerning the obligation to provide service type courses
for degree candidates in any school or college.
5 Motion to approve carried by a vote of 10 ayes, 2 nays,
and 9 abstentions.
6 Purpose and functions of AAC

August 14, 1968, which explains the nature of the report.
The previous Report submitted in 1966 was not acted upon.
8 In a note to Joe Corry on June 4, 1971, F. C. Young said
he believed the 58 credit threshold was the result of faculty
action and questioned whether an administrative panel could
authorize a change. Mr. Corry replied that he would look into
it.
9 Motion passed on a vote of 4 ayes, 3 nays
10 Motion passed on a roll call vote of 10 ayes, 3 nays
11 Out of deliberations conducted on several levels during
1979 and 1980, there emerged a consensus to note dropped courses
on the student record as of the first day of the 5th week
of classes beginning with the First Semester 1981-82. |
