Semesters totally whack, says Poly task forceBY NICK POWELLCal Poly released its Semester Review Task Force’s recommendation on Dec. 11. Members advised against converting the college calendar from the quarter system. “Although there are merits to the semester calendar, the cost, stress, and negative impacts of conversion outweigh the merits,” the 135-page report said.

Even if the funds were available, they could be better used elsewhere, according to the task force.
