Other personnel options discussed by the Budget, Audit, Facilities and Grounds Committee during the semester include reduction in both FTE and P-13 Post-TERI/Regular Retirees, reduction in P-13/temporary employees with P-13's being retained experiencing a 10% pay reduction.
President Cooper was not available for comment during the past week about whether the reduced furloughs will contribute to increased reductions in force.
The faculty senate president however, is saying that while they [faculty] appreciates that the board did not accept the first recommendation that included 17 days made on Sept 24, she is hoping that the analysis done included some finding for additional money and that the reduced furlough days will not lead to a dramatic reduction in force.
The furlough days will begin with three days during the Thanksgiving break, two during Christmas and two during Spring break 2010.
Deductions from paychecks will start with the January 15, 2010 paycheck and continue through the April 15, 2010 paycheck.
All employees will be affected regardless of funding source.
