Fridays off all summer

For several years now NJIT has been closed on Fridays during the summer. Since there are no classes scheduled on Fridays, the administration felt that it could save on energy costs by closing Fridays. They claim that $200,000/year is saved. A few faculty and graduate students complained that research productivity is reduced on a 4 day week. They are in the minority since most people enjoy three day weekends. It's too bad that it is raining today.
