Unresolved Issues

There are 14 current BPP students in years 2 through 6, and only 12 slots. Possible solutions include:

• As is tradition, the second years could share a (possibly extended since there are 3) slot
• We could add another class

There maybe scheduling conflicts with the currently proposed seminar time slot. The students will explore this and report back to the faculty when they reach a consensus.
