General Updates
Update on Future Campus Operations
As President Virjee announced on Monday, CSUF will be extending mandatory temporary telecommuting for all non-essential personnel whose jobs can be performed remotely through June 30, 2020. This extension affords our campus the time and resources to take in the ever-evolving direction from the governor, the chancellor, and other sources on this critical decision. As before, this date is subject to change depending on circumstances and/or federal, state, or local guidance. In alignment with that framework and with the guidance of both health professionals and campus stakeholders, the campus is planning to predominately offer virtual instruction in fall 2020. There are two sets of diverse committees working through this planning, both of which are made up of cross-sections of faculty and staff from a variety of colleges, divisions, and departments. They will continue to be in close consultation with all campus stakeholders to ensure all views and voices are heard and considered as part of any final decision on fall 2020. These stakeholders include faculty, staff, ASI, our Academic Senate, and our union colleagues. An update on a more concrete, final decision on the details of the campus plan will come from the President toward the end of the month.
Titan Faculty and Staff Emergency Fund
The Titan Faculty and Staff Emergency Fund provides limited financial assistance for CSUF employees who are unable to meet immediate, essential expenses because of a temporary hardship related to COVID-19.
These emergency relief funds are being set up to provide financial support for those who have been severely impacted by COVID-19 that could adversely affect them and their families as they serve the campus and our students.
For eligibility and application information, please visit the Titan Faculty and Staff Emergency Fund webpage on the HRDI website. If you are able, please join us in pledging your support
by making a charitable contribution to The Titan Faculty and Staff Emergency Fund.
California Childcare Portal
Governor Newsom has announced
a new resource to help parents working in essential fields find safe and licensed childcare. The new California Childcare Portal
has been created to help families working in fields such as health care, police, postal services, grocery, and emergency services. Find licensed childcare in your area during the COVID-19 pandemic. Navigate childcare resources easily, by typing in a zip code to view childcare centers and homes that are currently open, their capacity, licensing history, and other useful information for choosing care.
