And a statement tonight from @harvard, after news of these layoffs caught fire on Twitter. In a seperate phone call, university rep emphasized the situation is very fluid.
Employees at Western Michigan U. whose work hours are fully or partially curtailed will need to rely on banked leave hrs, as well as an emergency allowance of 80 hrs. Those who expend those hrs will be shifted to non-pay status, but not laid off...
However, if an employee& #39;s no-pay status lasts for 2 weeks, it is recommended they file 4 unemployment with MI. As of now, WMU says no layoff plans have been invoked. Per statement, it appears the main focus for the U is keeping employees compensated until the end of the semester.
And then a statement from @WesternMichU @pres_montgomery. Expect more moves like this from public institutions, especially public regionals. A lot of U& #39;s like WMU will be trying to make the least harmful decisions they can, forced to pick from a suite of really shitty options.
Regarding @WesternMichU, one more thing. @Pres_Montgomery& #39;s cabinet have each forfeited at least two weeks of leave, in addition to "contributing an additional $10,300 dollars to student emergency needs."
