        <div  class="newsletter-txt">Good  morning,



The  number  of  COVID-19  cases  in  our  state,  including  the  Sangamon  County  area,  is  on  the  rise.  Sangamon  County  remains  at  “medium”  level,  per  the  CDC’s  tracking  system.  UIS  leadership  is  evaluating  what,  if  any,  additional  mitigations  may  be  put  in  place  if  our  county  enters  “high.”  &nbsp;Please  watch  your  email  for  further  communication  should  this  change  in  status  occur.



In  the  meantime,  though  no  new  requirements  are  in  place  at  this  time,  members  of  the  CRRT  and  UIS  administration  strongly  support  the  following:</div>

        <div  class="newsletter-txt">Dear  colleagues:&nbsp;In  consultation  with  university  leadership,  including  university  chancellors  and  vice  presidents,  I  am  pleased  to  announce  the  authorization  of  a  3.5%  merit-based  salary  program  for  faculty,  academic  professional  and  civil  service  staff  across  the  University  of  Illinois  System,  effective  Aug.  16,  2022.



This  program  remains  a  top  priority  in  our  budget  planning  to  enable  much-deserved  recognition  for  employees.  To  help  offset  current  economic  challenges  our  nation  is  facing,  this  year's  program  is  larger  than  last  year's.</div>
