CALENDAR COMMITTEE
REPORT ON CONCEPT OF A FALL BREAK
The issue of a possible fall break was raised again at a meeting
of the Faculty Council. Marvin Hackert, as chair of the Faculty
Council, asked the Calendar Committee to "review the proposal
for a fall break and report to the Faculty Council Executive Committee
and the Faculty Council with a recommendation to either 1) not
pursue it, or 2) a proposal of how best to implement such a fall
break that would then be brought before the Council for discussion
and vote."
The Calendar Committee reviewed numerous documents concerning
the issue that had been generated by consideration of the same
question during the 2000-01 academic year. The committee found
that the substantive problems raised in those documents largely
remained and that the matter should not be pursued at this time.
