UI clarifies furlough policy: voluntary pay cut an option - Julie Wurth, News-Gazette

UI administrators clarified the furlough policy this morning through a communication to employees, offering the option of simply taking a temporary 2 percent pay cut instead of four mandatory unpaid days off. Mrinalini Rao, vice president for academic affairs, and other administrators would not confirm details Tuesday. UI spokesman Thomas Hardy said only that the communique will “reflect some adjustments and some flexibility in the mandatory furlough program.”
