Metropolitan State University of Denver will furlough faculty and staff in face of $14M budget shortfall - ELIZABETH HERNANDEZ, Denver post

Metropolitan State University of Denver is instituting mandatory, unpaid furlough days effective immediately for all staff and faculty who make more than $50,000 annually over the course of the next fiscal year that ends in June of 2021, the university announced Monday. The furloughs, which are effective immediately, are a cost-reduction tool used to address the budget shortfall largely a result of the pandemic’s massive impact on higher education, Larry Sampler, MSU Denver’s vice president of administration, said in a message to the university’s employees.
