For the past eight years my family has said goodbye to summer in this way. However, this year a small glitch threatened to upend our Labor Day holiday. I'm proud to be an Aggie now, and thought sure it was a misprint when I read that my graduate English class at WT was scheduled to meet last Monday night. Had to be a mistake. A call to the professor confirmed by fear.
Classes go on as usual, including evening classes.
Faculty and staff work while most other Americans take the day off. The professor didn't sound overjoyed. I was astonished at this policy. She also said she believes each of the nine university presidents in the system recommends a calendar for their school, which the regents then ap-prove. Some have class on Labor Day, some don't.
