Campus leaders of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay have extended their furlough plans through December 2020 as the University continues to manage the financial impacts brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.
The plan requires University faculty and staff to take unpaid leave and will result in approximately $826,830 in savings for the University from June-December.
Like other institutions across the state and country, UW-Green Bay is working to offset a series of financial challenges as a result of the pandemic, including housing and related refunds, revenue losses due to the cancellation of on-campus programs, events and spring sports and a five percent budget lapse (approximately $1.4 million) that needs to be returned to the state of Wisconsin by June 30.
However, Chancellor Michael Alexander says, “We intend to reopen our campuses on July 1 to continue preparing for the fall semester.”
