its best effort in order to fully reopen in the fall. All campuses will submit a draft re-opening plan to CPE by May 12th and CPE will turn the plans over to the Governor on May 14th. The re-opening plans have guidelines about certain measures each campus must have in place before fully reopening, specifically thirty to ninety days of PPE, a daily disinfecting plan, one way hallways, social distancing reminders, floor markings, closed common areas, physical barriers, limits on room occupancy, quarantine provisions, and temperature checks for everyone entering campus. The cost of these measures would be factored the budget for the next fiscal year.

C. Regent Donald did not have any questions but expressed her gratitude for KSU's diligence in working with students during this time.

• D.Regent Felder began by expressing her concern that the majority of employee cuts will be staff members and said that she had a number of questions on their behalf. Addressing specific portions of Thorobred Strong, Regent Felder inquired about which areas are overstaffed, which programs have been cancelled, why any duplication of effort is not addressed by supervisors, which positions are being cut, which tasks can't be completed remotely, whether supervisors have been allowed the opportunity to give input into the plan, if administration would be able to take a salary cut instead of lay-offs, and who determined the difficulties of telecommuting. Regent Felder stated that she is trying to consider the people who are being let go since this is not a temporary layoff.
• President Brown replied that the Vice Presidents and Emergency Management Team are meeting daily to review the telecommuting forms for consistency, accuracy, and likelihood of workplace hours in order to identify areas that are potentially overstaffed or understaffed. Page seven of Thorobred Strong lays out the financial goals and impact for each area. If this plan is approved, the Vice Presidents, along with the President's own office, would have to meet the targeted cuts and President Brown would have to approve the recommendations as long as the cuts did not impact campus health, fiscal control, and academic instruction.
• President Brown stated that eighty percent of KSU’s budget is dedicated to personnel and we will not be able to get to the cuts needed without making personnel adjustments. All levels in each unit have been given the opportunity to submit their budget proposals but it is not possible to fund 100 percent of these requests. KSU needs to protect its budget from further cuts and the threat of declining fall enrollment. While other universities have cut the salaries of higher wage earners, those cuts are temporary and full salaries will revert back in July. Also, anyone in the higher wage category who is a contractor is not subject to cuts as any cut to contractor wages would be contract violation.
• President Brown further said that he respects Regent Felder’s role as Staff Regent and expressed his apologies to Regent Felder and her constituents, but stated that the current circumstances are dire.
• E.Regent Harnice asked if there are further contingency cuts in place in case there are anymore unexpected expenditures before the end of the fiscal year. President Brown stated that he did not have one but would consult with the CFO about this issue.
