The academic suspension
policy approved last spring
by the faculty senate will be
fairer than the previous
policy, according to faculty
members who worked on the
policy change.
Engineering Professor
Ted Simpson, a member of
the Scholastic Standards and
Petitions Committee, said
the policy was borrowed
from Auburn. He said USC
analyzed other policies
before accepting the Auburn
system.
"It's a very elementary
procedure, the simplest
really. The only thing I can't
figure out is why more
people don't use it," Simpson
said.
The new policy states that
a student is considered
scholastically deficient when
his semester, yearly or

A deficient student's
eligibility to remain in
school is based on his grade
point deficit. The student's
GPD is the number of grade
points below a 2.00 GPR.
THE GPI) is calculated by

grade point ratio hours attempted
by two and subtracting
the number of grade
points earned.
Students whose
cumulative or yearly GPD is
greater than 24 are
suspended for two
semesters. The duration of
any subsequent suspension
depends on the size of the
GPD.
Registrar T. Luther
Gunter said the new policy
will go into effect in May
1981, "and everyone will
have a clean slate."

"I think it's a very good
system. It is fair to the
student. You can dig your
grave 24 points down, but
you still have a chance to get
out," Gunter said.
"THE NEW POLICY
keeps students moving
toward a 2.0. As students
move along they are constantly
required to
demonstrate the 2.0 standard
they will need to
graduate," said Joseph P.

Scholastic Standards and
Petitions Committee.
