MIT Committee On Academic Performance: Petition Review (349 words) |
 | Once administrative neglect has been noted by the Committee, further petitions of this sort are likely to be denied unless the student can present evidence that the error resulted from circumstances beyond his or her control. |
| Petition decisions are final, and the Committee will not consider an appeal (a second petition for the same request), unless the student can provide substantial and compelling new information. |
| For instance, a student who unsuccessfully petitions to rescind his or her academic warning could appeal that decision, if there is a grade change that significantly raises his or her GPA for the term. |
| Center for Legislative Archives - Guide to Senate Records: Chapter 13 Immigration (1483 words) |
| The committee was created during the great wave of southern European and Asian immigration to the United States in the late 19th century, which prompted an increasing demand for immigration regulation at the Federal level and eventually led to the creation of the Committee on Immigration. |
| Prior to the establishment of the committee, bills, resolutions, and petitions relating to immigration were referred to the Committee on Commerce or Committee on Foreign Relations, and the Immigration Acts of 1875 and 1882 were the only significant legislation passed. |
| The committee papers are arranged according to the type of document, such as executive communications and reports, recommendations from various executive departments on specific bills, correspondence, committee requests for information from executive agencies, and even several petitions, or arranged by subject, such as deportation of aliens, and registration of aliens. |
