At the same time, we have a responsibility to students, their parents, and to the citizens who support this institution to sustain its instructional mission. Moreover, the Regents of the University of California have issued unequivocal policies delineating work responsibilities under such circumstances. In brief, all faculty, staff, and student employees are expected to meet their normal obligations to the university in the event of a strike. This includes holding classes and scheduled final exams at their assigned times and locations. We have a responsibility to ensure that our undergraduates complete their courses and receive their grades.
Nonacademic employees have a similar responsibility.
All offices will be open this Friday, and it is our responsibility to ensure that a strike by some members of our campus community does not prevent other members from conducting business. Thank you for your patience during this time of potential disruption.
