Thank you, Faculty Senate
Faculty Senate, we would like to thank you for preserving student sanity. On Wednesday, the Faculty Senate finally passed the new academic calendar, expanding winter break by a week and keeping the two-day spring recess that students have come to rely on as a break before finals (see story, page 1). It has been a long, drawn-out process, but we are glad to see it come to a close that everyone can agree with, establishing a calendar that will hopefully be in place for many years to come. Now students and faculty can take time to relax, knowing they have the next few months to make beach plans for April.
