Unlike public schools and other universities around the country, the University of La Verne was not “closed” for Veterans Day this past Tuesday. Universities are a business, and, as a business, it is in the school’s best interest to have every seat in every available class filled every semester.
The University of La Verne currently has a two-semester schedule with a January interterm, which works perfectly for undergraduate students because the January term is paid for in the general tuition for up to five units per student.
In order to better assist La Verne’s students and faculty, Provost Alden Reimonenq has laid out three different proposals to change and improve the academic calendars.
Unless the University of La Verne administrators want their students to fail or do poorly on their finals, they should really think about their decision to not have the two extra days before finals to study.
