Fresno State announced in a statement on Friday that the Athletic Corporation is furloughing about 55 auxiliary employees for two weeks due to losses in revenue.
“As a result of the significant financial impacts of COVID-19 and the University’s transition to virtual instruction this spring, the Athletic Corporation had to make a difficult decision to furlough approximately 55 auxiliary employees for two weeks,” the university said in a statement.
The furloughs include numerous employees in athletic training, communications, compliance, ticketing, academic support, equipment and strength and conditioning.
This was the second time the Fresno State athletic department has furloughed employees as the Fresno State athletic department furloughed 60 part-time employees for two months in late May.
