The University Senate of Michigan Technological University

PROPOSAL 26-99

AMENDMENT OF THE 1999-2000 SUMMER ACADEMIC CALENDAR

The Senate recommends the following change in the 1999-2000 academic calendar.

The date for the start of summer session in the 1999-2000 academic year shall be changed from June 6 to May 30, 2000. Summer session classes will end on August 11, rather than August 18, 2000.

Proposal Background
This proposal is the result of a request by the Executive Vice President and Provost. It reflects the desire of the staff in the residence halls to have two weeks between the end of the summer session and the start of the fall term to prepare the halls. Under the new semester calendar, classes will begin on August 28, 2000. Thus, summer classes need to end a week earlier than originally scheduled.

Proposal Development
As required by the Senate Constitution, the Senate Executive Committee approved bringing this proposal directly to the Senate floor for debate.
