"financial" decisions = effectively laying off staff. They started with facilities by sending them home without pay but they still have to show up every few weeks for a few days (maybe). They have to burn through vacation if they have any otherwise they are not paid. Dont take into consideration plans people had for their vacation time (trips, getting married, kids college graduations). They are receiving poor pay already and now you cut them down to less than a check a month? Real slap in the face Drake, to the people that cleaned/sanitized to keep the virus from infecting students, kept the buildings maintained, kept the snow clear/grass mowed, and kept campus from FLOODING (Friday!). Now (if they are lucky) they are getting jobs in retail that will surely expose them to Covid19 and bring it back onto our campus, just so they can feed themselves/ their families. You couldnt even give them a heads up or a few weeks pay?? Shame on you administration!
