lining of the COVID experience is that many staff can work very effectively remotely, although some must come to campus to perform their duties and responsibilities. UCR is initiating a process to engage campus in a discussion about post-COVID remote work
and this town hall is a kick off to that process. We mostly want to highlight that we are going to work on this important issue and we would use this town hall to gather feedback and input from campus. We also want to address questions that we can at this
point although there is much work to be done through this process before we have any final recommendations, and we expect guidance coming from UCOP as well. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
