Good suggestion. I feel if the furlough money owed to us in the form of salary was no longer needed to tide over forecasted financial strain, the straightforward follow up should be to pay that money back to the Faculty. and staff who were furoloughed So, your
suggestion is in line with that thought. </div>

I want to add that I have not been following various discussions on this because I was upset and got turned off by the callous attitude shown by the UA administration as to how they dealt with our (furloughed) money. Besides returning the withheld money to
the rightful people why is any other plan is even being proposed and considered? May be I am wrong on this accusation and I am willing to be corrected.</div>

Just one clarifying question given the whole furlough thing...why can't PLS give everyone a bonus (summer salary for 9 month contracts?) that matches the amount of furlough dollars "owed"? Why is that disallowed and how is that disallowed?</div>

Surely we all deserve a bonus after the last two years:)</div>
