ABAC Furloughs Begin Sept. 25

TIFTON—Because of impending furlough days, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College now operates on an 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. basis Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Fridays.  The new operating hours became effective Sept. 21.  

ABAC will close at 3 p.m. on Fridays beginning Sept. 25 because the two hours from 3 to 5 p.m. for the 12 Fridays ABAC is open during the remainder of the 2009 calendar year will be considered furlough hours.  That time constitutes three of the ABAC furlough days.  The College will also close on Nov. 25 and Dec. 24 as two more furlough days.  A sixth furlough day will be taken at some point during the 2010 spring semester, which begins Jan. 11.
