Baylor’s Office of Access and Learning Accommodation is set to be relocated from the first floor to the basement of the Sid Richardson Building this fall. “It feels like a step backward,” Katy senior Brenna Colihan said. “Baylor’s been doing such a good job of trying to push accessibility forward, … but at the same time, moving OALA to the basement makes it feel like [students who use their services] are trying to be hidden.”

In 2002, Baylor started extending Easter break to include Good Friday, creating more time in the school calendar for students and faculty to go home, be with their loved ones and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. Dr. Burt Burleson, university chaplain and dean of spiritual life, said he began to get more involved in the church in his early adolescent years, when he started to fully understand the meaning of Easter beyond chocolate bunnies and egg hunts.
