But the Senate did recommend that a dismissed student be allowed to petition the college to which he is seeking re- admission, rather than the school from which he was dismissed. Arnold Stras- :8senburg, acting vice-provost for Curric- ulum and. Instruction, suggested the change because a student dismissed from one school may show promise in another area. The school to which he is applying would have the option of waiv- ing the waiting period required before re-admission, the Senate said. Changing the policy on academic dis- tonesty information created the most debate in the monthly meeting and was N imoallytabslt until the S e's vext meeting, which is not until the fall. A plan to record membership in honor societies on a student's transcript was also pushed baek until next semester when time ran out. The new plan on academic dishonesty would make all findings-described as unjudicsted faculty reports of disho- nesty that are not challenged by the ,student-available on request to pre- professional committees and advisors speaking for the university when mak- ing recommendations about a student.
