Advance Furlough Notice

This year the CSU is suffering the most severe budget cuts in the history of the University.  Our Administration is attempting to manage these cuts by increasing student fees and requiring employees to take unpaid furlough days. I am required to NOT work nine days a semester.
                  
On furlough days, I am required to conduct no work activity, including important things—teaching, research, and service—and even the most mundane things, like answering emails.

This Notice is to help you plan your time with me accordingly. As a result the furloughs, I regret that I will completely unavailable on the following days during fall semester:

Please note that I must be completely unavailable, otherwise I could be officially reprimanded for "insubordination." I am not permitted to make up work that would normally be done on the furloughed day. So, if you email me on a furlough day, please email me again with the same message on the following day, so that it will not be "carried over" work. Other faculty may be willing to take this risk, but as junior faculty I simply cannot.
