David--This is a very nice way to deal with the end of semester crunch that I will
definitely consider next time.
I thank David and everyone else who responded to this thread both privately and on
mathedu for their interesting perspective and very helpful suggestions!
Regarding what I posted on my office door,

I received the following nice email message:
"I just want you to know that I support your protest. This is what ____ and
I meant when we said that we didn't feel that stlcop [the college] does a very good
job of making there students feel good about what they are doing. I guess the same

Thank you! Have a great summer!"
