[PhDs] Town Hall today (5/6), 5:30

[Nette Worthey]

Hi all,

Sending this update from the Town Hall to just PhDs, as conference travel funding is only applicable to you all.

WRT online conference registration: we do have funding to reimburse those for you this year. We don’t have a clear policy yet whether it will be one per person per year as usual, but I will get clarity on that and report back. Unfortunately, due to a very uncertain budget situation, we cannot hold any unused funds from this year for next. This is upholding our standard policy. I completely understand that these are extraordinary times, and I wish we could give you better news. We are being asked to significantly reduce our normal spending for next year, and anything saved this year will contribute to what we *won’t* have to cut next. Essentially, keeping our usual policy of not rolling over travel funding from year to year may allow us to be able to fund conference travel next year, despite the large budget cuts that are being called for. Please understand that even with this potential savings, we may still need to adjust conference travel funding in the coming year or two; we won’t have more clarity until at least mid-June. Know that we are committed to continuation of conference travel support because we recognize its importance in your education, research, and future, and that we will everything we can to protect that for you.

As always, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have special circumstances.

Nette

Is there something CCRMA-specific you would like to do this year?

Staff  have been thinking about it, and some of us believe it’d be good to have a written statement of our values as a collective. If you’d like to be involved in creating such, please let Nette know.
