Telecommuting Agreements Extended to August 6

We are extending the telecommuting agreements that have been in place over the summer until August 6, and perhaps longer if conditions warrant. Those of you who have been working remotely and were planning to report in-person to work on Monday are still free to do so, but it is not required unless requested by your supervisor or department chair. Please continue to communicate with your supervisor/chair around fall work modality planning. Other than the extended telecommuting agreement, there are no additional changes to our current summer term operations.

Fall 2021 Work Modalities

As we prepare for the upcoming academic year, many of us will see adjusted work modalities to support a robust in-person experience for our Roadrunner community. Many of you will resume working on campus this fall, while others will continue working remotely on a hybrid or full-time basis. Area managers and vice presidents carefully considered work modalities based on the requirements of individual positions. Your assigned modality is essential to supporting the university, our students and your teams. Read more to learn about the upcoming transition.
