Monday, Aug. 3, will be the
first unpaid furlough day for employees at California State University,
Fresno. Administrative offices will be closed as part of the plan to
help make up for a $16.3 million shortfall in state financial support. A
second administrative furlough day is scheduled Aug. 10.
On both days, instructional activities on campus will continue, but
support and administrative offices will be closed.
University Police and Plant Operations will ensure that facilities
scheduled for instruction are open, functional, safe and secure.
Janitorial services will be provided for a limited number of restrooms
supporting classroom activity. Support will be provided for scheduled
research labs.
University Courtyard, University Dining Hall, the Gibson Farm Market and
all child care centers on campus will remain open.
Due to the severe budget reductions imposed upon the California State
University system, most employee bargaining units agreed to take 24
unpaid-furlough days this year. Administrators are subject to the same
unpaid-furlough schedule. University Police officers are exempt from
furloughs.
The dates for administrators and employees represented by the California
State University Employees Union and Academic Professionals of
California were announced after the CSU Chancellor’s Office approved a
final administrative-furlough day schedule for most nonfaculty employees
at Fresno State.
Under the California Faculty Association furlough agreement, faculty
members will work with individual campus administrators so that class
schedules for students are minimally disrupted.
Furlough calendars for the Department of Athletics and Fresno State
Athletic Corporation have not been set.
Exempt from mandatory furloughs are auxiliary organization employees of
the California State University, Fresno Association, Inc.; Agricultural
Foundation of California State University, Fresno; Fresno State Programs
for Children; and Associated Students Inc. However, work schedules are
being modified to support the campus.
Auxiliary organizations will provide services to students and faculty on
administrative-office closure days. Critical functions at the University
Agricultural Laboratory (campus farm) will be performed. Work schedules
for Fresno State Foundation employees are being developed to ensure
continued activity in grant-financed and contract programs.
There are three types of dates on the furlough calendar:
-
Administrative
furlough days – Campus open for instruction and will provide
critical services for students: classrooms and labs, childcare
centers, Kennel Bookstore, University Student Union, Student
Recreation Center, Satellite Student Union (except Aug. 3 and 10),
Henry Madden Library (shorter hours; closed Aug. 3 and 10); and
on-campus housing and dining.
-
Furlough-campus
closure: Non-instruction days when campus will be closed.
-
State
shutdown/furlough: Campus closed as in past during winter break,
