MUSG vowed to make big changes and does..-cancels finals due to lack of interest

You spoke, MUSG listened. In the biggest move in MUSG history, finals have been eliminated due to a lack of interest from students. This action has brought a mixed response and divided students on campus. Most students are overjoyed by the decision, which was a result of an OSD opinion survey question which asked MU students to name a way to make their college experience better. A n overwhelming amount of write-in responses to eliminate final exams. Many students declared they were just about as intersting as late night events (which are next on the MUSG agenda) and PHIL 104 and said their college expereince would be much improved if they were elminated.
Since finals cannot actually be taken out of the curriculum, MUSG had to get creative in ridding the students of those pesky tests of intelligence. They simply decided to end the school year a week early, citing traffic concerns and economic troubles. The money saved from decreased electricity costs and employee wages, had been put toward the median creation (see below).
However, the controversial move has divided campus. While many students have started celebrating the move and claim a drastic improvement in quality of life, some have taken a different stance. The basketball team, driven by rigorous team acheivment requirements and quest for academic excellence, have vowed to take finals, and have locked them self in the Bradley center (with their academic advisors' of course) and have claimed they will not play until their finals are taken.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our dark that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people don't feel ins ecure around you.We are all meant to shine as children do. Its not just in some of us; its in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Sir I just wanna say thank you . . . You saved my life. " stated a player who wished to remain anonymous(I've heard this before somewhere.....)

The basketball program has also now reported a dramatic increase in recruits.
Bradley center officials were worried at first, but later became open to the idea after they sold more tickets to the "lockout" than for the remaining Milwaukee Bucks games. Teachers also are opposed to the idea and have declared the decision "absolutely ludicrous". An MUSG spokesman, speaking on condition of anonymity responded "so is your mom."
Meanwhile the majority of students are upbeat and are optimistic about the idea.
"There's no stress in school anymore, and now I feel that I can concentrate on my studies without being judged by performance on one cumulative exam," declared a freshman in the college of nursing.
Many communication majors are confused with the entire move and have inquired as to the definition of the word "finals" and said they "always wondered why everyone else had to remain on campus a week late". Communication professors have applauded the move as well, stating that they are in fact ahead of the curve and eliminated all types of evaluation years ago, after noting the stress on students.
MUSG has decided that they will not stop at the university level and now are working on convincing other professional boards to do the same and envision a day where one does not need a good (or any) MCAT, LSAT or CPA test score to become a professional. The NFL immediately obliged and declared the Wonderlic test an "illegal" discriminatory test of intelligence which had too much of a negative impact on participants. Vince Young expressed his joy upon getting his test result expunged and has shown a new focus on the practice field.
MU's new mantra is : MU- don't let finals get in the way, of your dreams today!
