No, this is a feature of RIT and a few other schools. Even RIT is switching to 15-week semesters this fall.


The history of this is controversial. Student Government was charged with polling the student body and making an official recommendation to President Destler on that basis. The students voted to keep 10-week quarters, but SG recommended against the popular vote. It wasn’t just their fault, of course, but this kind of thing is part of the reason I left RIT. Nothing seemed to get done, at least not right.


Believe me, as a current student, I know how it happened. This really isn't the place for this discussion.


Now I'm kind of glad for the hilarious and useless student government at my school. All they can do is burn my money on events I don't care for...


Student Government sold us out. We should have never gotten rid of Al Simone.
