It is the policy of the University to minimize the effects of indefinite layoffs and indefinite reductions in time. To that end, Principal Officers should explore the feasibility of the following alternatives:

• Eliminating temporary agency employees
• Releasing employees on limited appointments
• Releasing student workers
• Intra-divisional transfers and reassignments
• Across-the-board reductions in time
• Voluntary resignations and reductions in time
• Curtailment periods and furloughs
• Unit-wide temporary layoff periods
