Petition Announcement
We wrote it, you signed it, and so many of us supported it.
The petition in support of having Easter Monday off so that students wouldn't have to spend Easter Sunday on the road, away from their families instead of observing the holiday that is the basis for Christianity, was presented today to the administration. Stephan Puff and I collected nearly 450 signatures of students and over 20 signatures of faculty in support of our proposition.
As one may expect, the schedule is not being changed. Please know that class will be in session on Monday, April 17th. If you are one that must travel a great distance to get back to the Hill, you are advised to talk to your professors about your situation to find a resolution.
Some have claimed that this was an oversight in scheduling that was done far in advance. Some claim that we are required to go to class because of a compulsory number of class days for each day of the week. Some claim that this isn't a problem.
Students of Seton Hill: thank you for all of your support, personal stories and sentiments, and willingness to come together for a good cause. It's amazing what kind of response you get when something that affects so many people is given attention.
Let's hope that this is something that never needs addressed again.
