NEW New Excuse Form
Please note that this is the NEW new excuse form, not the OLD new excuse form. The OLD
new excuse form was retired in 1995 when it was felt that were no new excuses,
and that the field of new excuses had indeed been exhausted. However, because of the
dedication and imagination of our students, it is felt that this little
heralded yet extremely important field might once again become a study of interest. For
this reason, the following form is made available.
If you do indeed have an excuse which you feel is new and exciting, please fill in
the form below and submit it with your late work. This form and your paper will
be submitted to the NEW New Excuse Committee and a decision will be made as soon as
possible.
Please do not ask your professor as to the status of your request. The NEW New Excuse
Committee is just as lax at getting things done on time as you are, and like you is
not very reliable with assignments. You should expect a reply before 2006.
