<p class="x_MsoNormal">Matt has advised me that Dean Burgess is planning to address this concern soon with a formal response, and has asked the units to not develop plans individually at this time. This does create an equity issue across campus and within
the college. Some units were forced to use furlough funds for operations, some used furlough funds for the $3million loan CALS had to give to campus.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">We are expecting a formal response soon, and with this guidance we will hopefully have a way to move forward.</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Thanks for the clarification! Redirecting the question to Matt then…It feels like summer salary spending within the school shouldn’t be governed by anyone but PLS? Call it something other than furlough repayment. Can the Dean or above
actually limit summer salary bonuses in a justified way if a school wants to spend money that’s in danger of being swept (his words) that way?</p>

<p class="x_xmsonormal">Hello PLS Faculty</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">The original memo from faculty council sent to the Dean regarding the furlough-derived savings that remained in each CALS unit requested the funds somehow benefit the contributing faculty and a few specific suggestions, including discretionary
funds and summer salary were provided. We are still awaiting a formal response from this memo.
</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">We are hoping that UA administration is able to resolve all of the furlough-derived issues to the satisfaction of the faculty.</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">Hope everyone is doing well. Take care</p>

<p class="x_xmsonormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">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. </span></p>

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.</span></p>
