Students will no longer be able to rely on Study Day to cram for finals starting in the
2013-2014 school year. Provost Vice President for Academic and Student Life Marilyn Levine initiated the decision to get rid of Study Day, previously known as Dead Day. Levine sent out a survey roughly two months ago to the student body about whether or not to keep Study Day.

Mundy, ASCWU BOD Vice President for Academic Affairs.
