In January 1988, Michigan State University Provost David Scott appointed the Semester Study Group to study the problem of converting from an academic quarter schedule to a semester schedule. The group released its Semester Study Group Report in January 1989, in which they recommended switching to the semester system. The Academic Council approved the conversion in 1989, but the Academic Senate voted against conversion at a meeting on June 6, 1989. Following a report by the Calendar Issues Clarification Committee which recommended conversion, the Council and the Senate both voted to approve conversion. On December 1, 1989, the Board of Trustees adopted the recommendation that MSU switch to a semester schedule effective fall 1992. The transition process was run by the Semester Transition Team 1992, or SETT92. SETT92 was led by Dr. Bruce Miller. Among other activities, SETT92 published The Green Book to aid faculty, staff, and students in making the adjustment to the semester schedule.
