Following productive discussions, CalArts and the unions (UAW and CWA) have reached agreement on the terms of the Voluntary Separation Program and Bridge to Retirement Plan (see May 1 update). The plans, which have very specific legal compliance requirements for release, are now being put together in accordance with these terms. We anticipate having them ready for release to eligible employees on May 19, 2025. We will also share the eligibility criteria with all faculty and staff employees at that time. After reviewing the terms of the programs, any employee who believes they were inadvertently excluded should contact Human Resources to review their eligibility.
