Colleagues,

As I indicated in my email of yesterday afternoon, we were expecting that the telecommuting agreement would be extended. We received word in the past hour that the Governor’s Office of Employee Relations (GOER) will be extending the agreement through April 2, 2021. In that, we have no objections to the extension and expecting that neither will any of the other statewide unions, we will continue to advocate for its liberal interpretation so as to protect the health and safety of our campus communities during this most dangerous period of the COVID pandemic.

Thanks, as always, to Elizabeth Hough and Pat Domaratz for their hard work in securing this extension.

In Solidarity,
Fred
