ACADEMICS
Board of Regents ponders academic year abridgment
Student body president Hannah Love met last week with the Board of Regents in Topeka to discuss decreasing the number of required class days for Kansas institutions.
The Board of Regents currently requires state universities to hold 150 days of class in an academic year, not including final week.
Love said that the current calender was more conducive to a K-12 system than a college system and the new would give students a longer summer break, allowing for better internship opportunities.
Don Steeples, vice provost for scholarly support, said that the KU administration would follow the guidelines mandated by the Board of Regents.
