Dear Colleagues,
The past month has presented immense challenges. Thank you again for your
amazing efforts to protect our students and to provide them with a safe and
productive remote learning environment, all while continuing to serve our
state in so many other ways. Together, we helped lead the effort to protect
the health and safety of our local community and many communities across the
state. In partnership with Governor Ducey and the Arizona Department of
Health, we are on a path to provide the antibody test kits that will help
get us back to work and our students back to campus. Together, we will
ensure the University of Arizona survives this crisis, and that we come out
of it better prepared to thrive in ways we could not have imagined just two
months ago.
The task ahead is not easy, and it depends largely on the resolution of our
public health crisis. Along with our entire leadership team, I am grateful
for the tremendous sacrifices you already have made, especially as more will
be required of all of us at the University.
We are not alone. Everyone is adjusting to this new reality of sacrifice and
uncertainty. According to the latest reporting, more than 22 million
Americans have filed unemployment claims over the past four weeks, the
highest number of claims since the Great Depression. At least one estimate
shows 20% of the labor force, 1 in 5, are out of work, and many more are
facing reductions in hours and pay. Individuals and families everywhere are
feeling the significant impact of this crisis, with many struggling or
unable to pay rent, facing shortages and long waits for basic necessities,
and experiencing increasing stress and uncertainty. I know this situation is
incredibly hard, and it makes it even more difficult to focus on our health
and well-being during the pandemic.
This will affect the University just as it is affecting other universities
and colleges across the nation. Our financial losses already have been great
. We anticipate losing more than $66 million by the end of this fiscal year,
ending June 30. Because we are only a month into this crisis, we cannot
know the full extent of its effects, but our most credible shortfall
projections exceed $250 million. To put that in perspective, recall that our
budget reallocations this year, 1.5% for academic units and 3.5% for
administrative units, as well as RCM and administrative service charge tax
increases totaled $30 million. While these changes caused incredible concern
throughout our campus, even requiring layoff plans in some administrative
areas, we are now predicting losses more than eight times that amount next
year.
Several teams, including senior administrators, financial sustainability
working groups, faculty and staff representatives, Regents Professors and
Distinguished Professors, and a multitude of others, are working quickly to
address this shortfall. Every idea is being considered. As we collect more
information over the next several months, the University of Arizona will
adapt through new business models, reorganize and restructure for the most
sustainable use of resources, and apply the long-term reductions that may be
necessary to address the financial aftermath of COVID-19.
Strategic restructuring, competitive sourcing and traditional layoffs may be
necessary in the future to ensure the long-term financial stability of the
University, but a comprehensive layoff is not the right approach for our
immediate response. Instead, we have focused on eliminating expenses that do
not affect employment and that have limited impact on employee time or
salaries while we address immediate cash flow needs of around $40 million
per pay period throughout an extended period with modest revenue.
We have put a halt to approved building projects for savings of $7 million.
We have halted FY20 strategic plan funding for savings of $22 million.
We have instituted a hiring pause and delayed plans for merit increases to
save another $26 million.
In March, senior vice presidents and I implemented immediate pay cuts for
ourselves in recognition that at least that much would be required.
While significant, those savings are not enough, and an appropriate furlough
(unpaid time away from work) and pay reduction program is required. With
all this in mind, I have proposed to the Arizona Board of Regents a
comprehensive program that includes staff and faculty in a graduated scale
through FY 2020 & 2021:
For those within the salary bands up to $44,449 a year, a furlough of 13
days to be taken over time
For those within the salary bands of $44,500 to $75,000 a year, a furlough
of 26 days to be taken over time
For those within the salary bands of $75,001 to $150,000 a year, a furlough
of 39 days to be taken over time
For those within the salary bands of $150,001 to $199,999 a year, a straight
salary reduction of 17%
For those within the salary bands of $200,000 or more a year, a salary
reduction of 20%
With this plan, employees will retain their employment and health care
benefits. We all will share in this as a team and we all will sacrifice as a
team, but in a manner that respects your work, your contributions and your
compensation and benefits, to the highest extent possible.
We will implement this furlough and pay reduction plan from May 11, 2020
through June 30, 2021. It is projected that this program will generate
approximately $93 million in savings to the institution. We will adapt if
conditions change dramatically or we realize significant unexpected new
sources of revenue, restructuring savings or expense reductions. As
significant as this plan is, it will cover less than 40% of our projected
shortfall through June 30, 2021, even though salaries and benefits comprise
more than 60% of our spending.
I know you must have many questions about how this will affect you and your
immediate colleagues, and I truly regret that this will add to an already
stressful situation. The University has a complex structure with many
different employment conditions to address, so I ask for your patience as we
develop the implementation plans. More details will be shared as soon as
possible, including a comprehensive FAQ online resource. Please visit the FY
2020 & 2021 Furlough & Pay Reduction Program website for the most up-to-
date information.
There is much more for us to do, and we will all be working together to
guide our University out of this crisis. I am confident we will weather this
storm, and I am truly grateful for all of you and your dedication to our
students and one another.
Please stay safe, and, as always, Bear Down.
Robert C. Robbins, M.D.
President
