re: Can a professor have a mandatory lab on fall break?

Yeah but this is at a University, the last stronghold for any sort of protest against the tyranny of our elders. I'd love to take the easy way out and just go on the trip, but I can't. I have to stand up for what I believe in, and I believe in getting drunk as frick and doing whatever else I see fit on my assigned days off of school. First they take fall break, then they knock a day off spring break. Pretty soon, everyones accepting less holidays and Hell, by the time my kids are in school they probably won't even get off for New Years.
