KU chancellor tells students: Don’t expect canceled classes if Jayhawks win national title

Mar 28, 2012 - 12:02pm
 If Kansas University’s basketball team wins two more basketball games in New Orleans this weekend, students shouldn’t expect any days off from class.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little sent a message to students, faculty and staff saying that classes will be held as scheduled if the Jayhawks win.

“Provost Jeff Vitter and I believe that our first mission as a university is to foster academic success and that is accomplished in part by setting high expectations for our students,” the message read. “A national title would be worthy of celebration, but we are confident those celebrations can take place without disrupting KU’s academic mission.”

The move is a break from previous chancellors — classes were canceled the day after KU won the title in 2008 and in 1988.
