Faculty are voting this week on an
amended AAC proposal for a semester calendar that adds a four-day reading
period, keeps a 14-week semester and encourages the transition committee to
consider schedules that would allow classes to run longer than 55 minutes.

Faculty met on Wednesday to
discuss the latest proposal. After the meeting, the Faculty Executive Committee
was to distribute ballots to faculty on Thursday morning.

Clifford Brown, chair of the FEC,
has said he expects ballots to be counted on Wednesday, Nov. 19.
