The following dates are used for faculty on academic year appointments. The number of working days in a month can be used to calculate prorated salaries for faculty not starting or ending on the first or last day of an academic year appointment.
While academic year employees do not accrue vacation days, Section 3.4.2 of the BOR Bylaws specify:
For members of the academic-year staff, vacations are fixed by the University calendar for the academic year, normally the period between the end of the first academic term and the first working day following the New Year's holiday (as defined by the President), and the period of the Fall and Spring Recesses.
