bursar-l: Pandemic Flu Response Planning

Dear Friends,
 
I just came back from an uplifting meeting concerning our institutional
response to the Pandemic Flu.
 
Our Director of Health Services explained that among other things, we'd
need to prepare for a complete campus shutdown for a period of up to 3
months.
 
There are a total of 10 subcommittees working on a plan that addresses
everything from facilities, payroll processing, 30-40% employee
absences, canceling the semester, tuition refunding, grief
counseling...you name it! For instance, what if the Pandemic hits in
late April with only a few more weeks of classes for the spring
semester? Do we assign credits and grades and keep the money, or do we
cancel the semester, drop all classes and refund all money? Or, do we
cancel summer semester and reopen in July and finish spring then?
 
(I have a headache!)
 
The subcommittee that I am on will address all Controller Operations
(Payroll, AP, AR, Grants, Accounting, Purchasing and Student Accounts).
 
I'm interested in what others are doing (especially large community
colleges, but I welcome all responses) with respect to creating a plan.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Loretta
