Voters show up to vote at University of Cincinnati's Langsam Library on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2020 in Cincinnati. Mary LeBus | Staff Photographer Faculty at the University of Cincinnati (UC) have voted to give students a break from classes on election day. The universityâs Faculty Senate adopted a proposal, with some opposition, during their Feb. 11 meeting to not hold classes during federal election days. During a joint meeting in November, the universityâs student governments, Staff Council and Faculty Senate discussed a request from students to make Election Day an academic holiday. Given that staff would still have to work during an academic holiday, Graduate Student Government later passed a proposal to make Election Day a full university holiday.Â
