"The motion is as follows: That Senate encourage academic units and professors to grant academic amnesty on September 15, 2023 to all students of all Memorial University campuses, insofar as academic units and professors remain flexible in making alternate arrangements, including rescheduling examinations and the deadlines for submission of assignments, and in adopting any other required forms of leniency for students who are absent from classes on September 15, 2023 so that they may...
"Memorial is fully supportive of students' rights to demonstrate and speak freely on all our campuses. Where possible, faculty and instructors are asked to plan for flexibility on this day."
