Nellis Tells UI Employees Of Furloughs

A Berry Picker sent the following letter circulated by President Duane Nellis to UIdaho faculty & staff this morning: "I write with an update to confirm that the University will implement a furlough plan, the details of which are being completed over the next few days and will be communicated early next week. The University is a complex organization, with many different functions and units and many different funding sources. As such, a furlough plan for the university is itself a complex process. Any furlough action, in any organization, is a major change and requires careful planning. We are committed to doing that planning so that the implementation is as smooth as possible and employees are treated fairly/UIdaho President Duane Nellis. More here.

Question: Are you concerned about the quality of education at the University of Idaho in the face of ongoing budget cuts?
