How is the UTHSC-H holiday calendar developed?
A committee selects the holidays and Executive Council approves the annual holiday calendars. The committee is representative of UTHSC-H units and various campus committees. There are nine national holidays and eight state holidays which state employees are allowed to take. Each component can choose which holidays to celebrate provided they fall on a Monday through Friday. State employees are not entitled to a holiday if it falls on a weekend, hence the variability in the number of holidays from year to year. The model used to develop the calendar is to count the total number of holidays that fall on a Monday through Friday and subtract the CORE holidays for UTHSC-H. The committee then determines the remaining holidays, which vary up to six days.
