Employees working mostly from off-campus locations who were making plans to return to their university offices in August now have an earlier deadline. Repealing the board's March 2020 "state of emergency" declaration for the three regent campuses May 20, state Board of Regents president Michael Richards also directed regent employees to return to their campus workspaces by July 1.
In a follow-up memo, Iowa State leaders confirmed the change applies to employees who normally would work on campus during the summer. Faculty on nine-month appointments, for example, can keep the Aug. 19 return date the university announced last month.
