Calendar Survey

Dear Faculty:

The Academic Senates of Foothill and De Anza would like your opinion
regarding the possibility of changing the district academic calendar
(possible alternative calendars would include compressed quarters,
compressed semesters, semesters, or trimesters).  Depending on the results
of this survey, the Senates may pursue, with other constituent groups, the
possibility of changing the academic calendar.

Please complete the survey, using this link:

  http://www.research.fhda.edu/cgi-bin/rws3.pl?FORM=Calendar

If you have any questions, please contact your Academic Senate presidents.
If you have received this email more than one, we apologize; we wish to
reach as many faculty as possible, so some duplication may occur.

Thank you,
Wayne Chenoweth, DeAnza Academic Senate President [Posted 3/3/08; 11:28:37 AM ]
