Provost Michael Kotlikoff announced that the modified calendar proposed by the Academic Calendar Committee has been approved, in an email sent to students Thursday. In April, the Senate, Student Assembly, University Assembly, Employee Assembly and Graduate and Professional Student Assembly voted on ranking three different proposals: the current calendar, the modified calendar and the early commencement calendar. Results indicate that the majority of votes were cast for rankings that placed the modified calendar as first choice. In comparison to the current calendar, the modified calendar starts the fall semester two days earlier and the spring semester one day earlier. The modified calendar positions spring break 23 class days after February break.
