A New York state college is experimenting with a shortened work week for its non-teaching employees, gaining both nationwide admirers and questions of applicability beyond its particular circumstances.
Over the past decade, higher education has exhibited the same conditions that forced other industries to undergo a vast transformation. Just as schools were bracing themselves for the unprecedented decline in the number of high school graduates, the COVID-19 pandemic imposed several financial difficulties.
The college tried a shortened workweek during the pandemic to offer more flexibility to take care of children and family at home. That experiment went well, prompting the recent change.
The 32-hour workweek first arose at D'Youville as part of a work-share program in the summer of 2020. The school had to get "creative" amidst the onset of the pandemic, experimenting with the shorter week as part of New York's Shared Work Program.
Million-dollar D’Youville grant will assist students pursuing STEM careers. D’Youville will be able to help more low-income and underserved students pursue careers in science and healthcare, thanks to a million-dollar grant from New York State’s Collegiate Science Technology Entry Program (CSTEP).
Spend any amount of time with Dr. Lorrie Clemo, President of D’Youville College, and you’ll be impressed with her unwavering pursuit of positive change.
