University-wide budget cuts […]
With signals continuing to point toward the possibility of a change in GW’s academic calendar, university administrators, faculty and students are voicing concerns about a calendar proposal that came out this summer. GW administrators are currently debating a calendar that would include a mandatory, 10-week summer session for all rising juniors and a credit system […]
