What factors should be considered in scheduling the additional furlough days?
The following factors should be considered in determining the additional faculty furlough days: • The operational needs of the department or college. For example, for the instructional faculty, the dean should work with the faculty member to assure that course objectives and student learning outcomes are addressed. • Furlough guidelines for faculty employees include no more than one furlough day in any workweek, nor more than two furlough days in any calendar month. The only exception is that once per year, up to four furlough days may be taken in a single workweek. • Up to four (4) faculty furlough days may be observed in a single calendar month once during the year. With the exception of this one-time observance, no faculty-unit employee will be subject to, or take, more than two (2) faculty furlough days in any calendar month. • All furlough days must be taken before June 30, 2010.
