A Different Kind of Friday
Inside Higher Ed: Could a four-day workweek help revitalize a 57-year-old private university?
For more than a year, the University of Mobile has given faculty and staff members the equivalent of Fridays off, with a 35-hour week (the same number of hours as before) that shifts classes to a Monday-Thursday schedule and encourages students to spend Fridays volunteering, working at internships or mentoring and performing community service. Nonfaculty employees also enjoy four-day schedules but rotate days off.
Of course, a few students take the opportunity to sleep late, said Provost Chris McCaghren. That’s fine, he said. “That’s a benefit, in their minds.”
