As we DePaul students began to make initial plans for Spring Break activities, we soon noticed that the 2006-2007 academic year was markedly different. Most strikingly different was the fact that Spring Break occurs between a Wednesday and a Tuesday, thereby making Spring Break seven days long instead of the usual nine.
The following is a list of signatures by DePaul students who feel betrayed by their administration and ask that Spring Break 2007 be returned to its original arrangement, encompassing a full week in its entirety and therefore, by default, including the weekend prior and the weekend after it.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
Our petition is approaching five hundred signatures as students continue to express their dissatisfaction with the current academic calendar. Please encourage your peers to add their names so that the administration recognizes the extent of this frustration.
November 11, 2006
The feedback from fellow students confirms that the reduction of our break causes significant logistical challenges for travel and rest. I am currently preparing a formal letter to the administration to explain why the previous nine-day schedule was essential for the student body. Your ongoing participation ensures that our request remains a prominent topic of discussion on campus.

7 days is not a break its just a long weekend. we need the full time to actually recover from finals.

Ridiculous. Half of us have to travel back and forth and this schedule makes it impossible to get cheap tickets. Fix this.

This really ruins my plans to go home. Why change it now when it was working fine for years?

My flight was already booked for the original dates and now I have to pay a huge change fee. DePaul seriously needs to think about the students for once.
