Colleagues,
We are facing challenging times, with the health of our students, our families, and our loved ones at the forefront of our minds. Worrying about economic security can only magnify those concerns. To address that very real worry, today I joined President Janet Napolitano and my fellow campus chancellors in pledging that University of California will not lay off any career employees through June 30, 2020.
UC Merced’s students, the Central Valley and the future of California depend on each one of you and the distinct roles you play in our campus community. You are all integral to our continued research, our teaching excellence, and the economic impact that our campus has on this community. Please take time to read the full letter , and if you still have questions, please contact your supervisor or write to hr@ucmerced.edu .
Take care of yourselves and your loved ones, and remember that we are better together.
