Quotes in italics

Provost:

1.                  Fac Senate wants immediate decision on whether or not teaching in fall will be all on line. Provost and SLT don’t want to make this decision now bc of the massive financial hit ($100M tuition revenue and 14% of revenues from auxiliaries that all require F2F interactions to happen

2.                  Taskforce for reentry process being established.

3.                  Budgeted employee merit raise is delayed for a year. Promotion raises still effective. (SB: I need to ask re ALVSCE merit raise program).

4.                  Gen Ed “refresh”: timetable off by a month. There has never been a better time to think of radical changes. Aiming to have in effect by Fall 2021

5.                  Planning to streamline course approval process. Needs to take weeks and not months.

6.                  Long discussion about Andrew Carnie’s email rescinding offers to grad students.

Subject: Tuesday 3/31 pm COV-19 president, provost and deans

President Robbins. Discussion of HBO TV show about basketball at 6pm

Provost (all in italics are quotes):

  1.  You many pay for increased bandwidth at peoples’ homes, obviously this is taxable income.
  2.  Hiring students to do research: a. yes these will need approval and paperwork like every other hire (you may have more than one student on the same paperwork but b. you must first chose students from a list of UA Auxiliary units that is to be provided. If you chose students from this list, the UA Auxiliary units will pay half the salary cost. If no students on the UA Auxiliary units are qualified to do the jobs then you may hire other students BUT you must prove why these UA Auxiliary units students are not qualified and pay the full costs of student labor.
  3.  There is currently NO discussion of staff layoffs—please communicate this to your people.

Regards

Shane

Remember, we’re working together to provide the best examples we can to "flatten the curve" so our healthcare system is not overwhelmed. If we do everything right, "nothing will happen" – and that is the whole point.
