Impacts from COVID-19 on geoscience academic departmental operations

from AIPG

Impacts from COVID-19 on geoscience academic departmental operations AIPG This data brief provides insights from early study responses about the impacts from COVID-19 on geoscience academic departmental operations, specifically budgets, personnel and plans for the Fall 2020 term. Nearly half of responding departments are expecting budget cuts between 5% and 20% for the next academic year, and nearly one-tenth of responding departments reported that they expect cuts of greater than 20%. While most departments did not report personnel impacts, those that did provide input most frequently reported multiple impacts, often a combination of furloughs of staff and faculty and salary reductions. We will continue to provide current snapshots on the impacts of COVID-19 on the geoscience enterprise throughout the year.
