Decisions Regarding Separation Processes
In the case of separations resulting from FY 2025 University budget reductions, whenever possible, University Staff employees will be provided a minimum notice period of 60 days to support their transitions.

In the coming days, Human Resources will add a question to job postings in the University job application system (Talent) to give applicants the option to indicate that they have been impacted by reductions in force/layoffs to help make hiring managers aware of these candidates.
