FIU said in a tweet that they have proposed a new Spring 2021 calendar that removes Spring Break. The calendar must first be approved by the Faculty Senate. If it is adopted, the semester will end a week early instead of the break.
UM President Julio Frenk said that in lieu of Spring Break, they will have two “Wellness Wednesdays” that will “give students a break from instruction.”
Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University has also announced plans to cancel Spring Break and end the semester a week earlier.
Florida State University announced a similar plan, Wednesday.
