we begin the second half, please take a moment to check your syllabi to resolve potential conflicts and violations. Although the semester is in full swing, it is important to confirm that your syllabi follow the guidelines especially before it becomes an immediate

you think one of your classes is breaking a rule, there are several steps that you can take. If you are comfortable doing so, you can talk to the professor directly. You can also report the violation anonymously to the UA or to the Chair of the Faculty. Please
reach out as soon as possible. </span><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-weight: 700; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Late
