University Auxiliary Services
Email from the Chancellor, Provost, and VC for Fin and Admin (pdf)
| Each of NC State�s auxiliary units has implemented operational expense reduction plans to help address COVID-19 related revenue shortfalls. Auxiliary units have worked diligently to consolidate services; reduce hours; close facilities; enact hiring, travel and spending freezes; renegotiate service contracts; and, where possible, transition from in-person services to alternative online services. Unfortunately, due to the sharp decrease in revenue, some of our auxiliary units, in addition to operational reductions, must move forward to implement personnel actions. |

Therefore, campus units should immediately release the hold on their one-percent for ARP and use the university�s existing guidelines to pursue salary adjustments to address labor market, equity, retention and other critical compensation needs in accordance with the university�s regular salary administration procedures. |
