Instead of doing a 15% holdback across the board, was there any consideration in customizing reductions based on each department or faculty’s ability to absorb the loss?

The University instituted a 15% holdback in every area as a prudent financial measure to ensure it can continue to maintain its core services in a time of significant uncertainty and disruption. Review of the campus's and individual departments' financial health is ongoing, which includes an analysis of where additional financial support may be necessary.
