Resolution Contents

Resolves that the Academic Senate objects to the proposed 14-week term length, which is presented in the 2026-2027 Academic Calendar, because it implements symmetrical fall, winter, and spring term lengths that modify, without senate consultation and approval, the sixteen-week fall and spring semester term lengths and asymmetrical summer term in AS-942-22; and further resolves that the Academic Senate strongly encourages the administration to postpone the adoption of symmetric trimesters proposed in the 2026-2027 Academic Calendar until Cal Poly has had the opportunity to institute the Quarter to Semester transition as it originally was mandated by the Chancellor’s Office in 2021, with two 15-week Semesters with one week of final exams and a Summer semester; and further resolves that the Academic Senate strongly encourages the administration to postpone implementation of the Year-Round Operations proposal until the integration with Cal Maritime, should it be approved by the CSU Board of Trustees in November 2024, is complete and has been shown to be both financially and functionally sustainable, and the incoming community from Cal Maritime has had an opportunity to provide feedback on the proposal.
