Good day!
Headline newsDISASTER PREPAREDNESS AND UNIVERSITY STATE OF EMERGENCY POLICY ESTABLISHEDOSU has established the Disaster Preparedness and University State of Emergency
Policy (#6.17) for unexpected catastrophic events resulting in a prolonged
university closure. The policy requires that faculty and staff be designated
as essential, alternate or standby; outlines how compensation, leave time and
other employment issues will work during an extended closure; and identifies
individual, leadership and unit responsibilities. The policy will become active
if a University State of Emergency is declared. Faculty and staff are encouraged
to become familiar with the policy and their department plans in case an emergency
occurs. A list of Frequently Asked Questions is also available. Read more in
