In response to the state budget reduction, all UW Technology professional staff will take two mandatory weeks off without pay during Fiscal Year 2010. To accomplish this with minimal impact to faculty, staff and students, most staff will be off August 24-30 (essential staff working that week will take the week of August 10th or 17th off), and again during the winter holiday periods. During these times of reduced staff, UW Technology will respond to critical service interruptions, but routine requests for service maintenance may experience delays. See the UW Technology Web page Spotlight box for details.
