OSU decided against switching to a four-day work week this summer that would have helped conserve energy.
STILLWATER (AP) — Oklahoma State University officials have decided against what would have been a temporary switch to a four-day work week.
The proposal came as part of a campus-wide effort to search for ways to reduce energy costs. Under the proposal, OSU employees would have worked four 10-hour days instead of the standard five 8-hour days from July 7 through Aug. 10.
The university says that because of numerous activities already scheduled for the summer, there would not be adequate time to plan for a change in hours of operation.
University officials say a primary concern is the impact a closed campus on a Friday could have on student enrollment, as Friday is a key makeup or walk-in day for students and families who could not attend the May or June orientations for freshmen and transfer students.
