President Brown began with a follow up to the April 23, 2020 Special Called Meeting. He stated that Regent Moffett prepared an excellent synopsis of the April 23rd Special called Meeting which highlighted that KSU is planning to respond to the COVID-19 crisis by preparing budgets with both worst case scenario and disaster level scenario. In response to this matter, the University stated that it would not furlough because a furlough would be a temporary hold on personnel, but instead will propose layoffs with a careful review of staff and administrative cuts.
