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 vacant, limited or temporary positions
• Releasing employees on limited appointments
• Releasing student workers
• Reorganizing or reallocating work
• Temporary layoffs (less than 120 days)
• Temporary reductions in time
• Intra-divisional transfers or reassignment of career employees
• Voluntary resignations and reductions in time
• Curtailment periods
• Implementing Furlough Periods
