Statements & news

Dear Campus Community,

Dear Colleagues,

As we continue to support the professional development and management of our employees, we are announcing that for all "internal UC Berkeley" recruitments for supervisory or managerial positions posted on or after July 1, 2020, applicants must have completed the Berkeley People Management: Grow Today online training series prior to applying.  

Dear faculty, staff and students,

We are writing today to provide an update on our ongoing planning for fall semester operations. The planning process is wide-ranging and is deepening every day as we bring more faculty and staff onto the committees (described below) that are helping us envision what the fall term could look like. We aim to make key decisions in regard to fall operations by mid-June.

Guiding Principle

Dear Campus Community, 

We understand that many faculty, staff, and students have questions regarding University-related travel, particularly in view of the COVID-19 situation during summer and fall 2020. We also acknowledge the desire to make international travel plans in the near future and the significant difficulty imposed by this uncertain period. This message includes the most updated information available pertaining to the campus’ travel protocol, travel insurance, travel reimbursement, and international agreements.  

Dear Faculty and Students, 

Similar to last year, the spring 2020 final exam period (Monday, May 11 to Friday, May 15) falls during Ramadan, the Muslim holy month. We would like to remind you of the campus policies that outline the rights and responsibilities of both faculty and students with respect to course conflicts and accommodations of all types. The relevant policies are linked below: 

Dear campus community:

The Bay Area’s shelter-in-place order has been officially extended through May with only limited easing of restrictions, including construction and certain outdoor activities.
