Davies announces fall break implementation committee at A-Senate meeting
Central Michigan University President Bob Davies announced that his office is assembling a committee to provide recommendations for implementing a fall break at the Oct. 22 academic senate meeting.
The committee will be overseen by Executive Vice President and Provost Mary Schutten, and will include of a member of the academic senate, up to two tenured or tenure-track faculty members, up to two fixed-term faculty members, up to two SGA representatives, one dean and one individual representing online and satellite campuses.
Student Government Association has been advocating for a fall break for over a year. The organization cites the spike in students that book counseling and advising appointments during October and November as evidence for a decrease in morale among students.
"The thought process is, (the committee members) would provide recommendations on what (a fall break) would look like, and if it's acceptable we will take it back for further review," Davies said.
