To assist students in making better course decisions, professors may be required to post their syllabi before the semester begins.
University of Minnesota student leaders are pushing faculty to release their past syllabi so students know their impending coursework before enrolling. And so far, faculty members are on board with the idea.
The Minnesota Student Association has been pushing for the open syllabi concept since last spring and plans to take the idea to the University Senate in hopes that the senate will move their efforts forward by creating a new policy.
