Some administrators at the University of Minnesota estimate that the school may lose as much as $6 million in tuition revenue as an indirect result of the school’s conversion from quarters to a semester system. Several factors are at play. The school could lose $3 million in state funding if the number of students enrolled in a full class load (15 credit hours or more) drops by 2 percent. Also, students may decrease their class load per semester and not take the recommended five three-hour classes per semester, as required to graduate in four years.
Fourth-year fifth
A number of University of Virginia students decided to buck tradition by pledging not to participate in the “fourth-year fifth,” in which seniors chug a fifth of liquor before the last home football game of the season Nov. 14. The anti-binge drinking movement follows concerted efforts by the state’s governor and attorney general to curb substance abuse on the college campus.
