On June 29, a group of leaders from the University of Rochester answered staff questions during a virtual town hall.
In an hour-long live-streamed panel discussion, President Sarah Mangelsdorf and other leaders updated employees regarding current issues. This included the impact of furloughs and financial savings plans on staff, restart plans for the fall, and steps the University is taking to address systemic issues that disadvantaged BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) employees face.
A video recording (with captions) of the leadership update for University staff is available online. An accessible transcript (PDF) of the conversation can also be downloaded.
