The academic calendar for each campus shall be developed at the sole discretion of the
University. An academic year normally shall not contain fewer than 146 days of instruction.
This provision shall not preclude the establishment of an academic calendar containing
fewer than 146 days of instruction. The University agrees, upon request, to meet with the
UC-AFT to discuss any changes in the number of days of instruction. However, if the
University proposes to increase the number of days of instruction to more than 150 days,
the University agrees to meet and confer with the UC-AFT regarding the impact of such an
increase. Negotiations regarding the impact shall not delay the implementation of the
calendar.
