The following message was circulated via English L, Sacramento State's English Department's link serv.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Students:
Due to unprecedented budget reductions imposed upon the CSU, our employee bargaining units have agreed to take 24 furlough days this year.
The staff of the English Department and I will be observing furlough on the campus designated days of Friday, August 7 and Friday, August 14. The English Department, therefore, will be closed on both of those dates. We will reopen on Monday, August 10 and Monday, August 17, respectively. If you call or email us during those days, we will try to respond as soon as possible after we reopen.
While most departments will be closed on these dates, there are some activities that may continue.
In an emergency, please contact Public Safety at (916) 278-6851.
During Fall 2009, the campus has also designated the following dates as campus-wide furlough: Friday, November 27 (the day after Thanksgiving) and December 21-24; on those days the English Department will be closed. The staff and I will be rotating our other furlough days so as to cause as little disruption as possible.
As for faculty furlough, we are awaiting further instructions on implementation. So, I do not yet know how it will impact instruction. I assure you that as soon as I have a better idea of faculty furlough implementation, I will communicate that information to you.
Sincerely,
Sheree Meyer, Chair
English
