Governor Rick Perry has included all Texas public universities in his call for a State Day of Mourning in memory of former president Ronald Reagan, Friday, June 11. This includes for the University all nonessential personnel at the discretion of their supervisors.

All university employees required to work during this time will be provided an equal number of hours
(up to eight) of administrative leave to be used prior to the end of this fiscal year.

Each faculty member will decide whether to hold classes and will determine how to make up lost time as appropriate. Announcements will be made during the Wednesday and Thursday classes.

Freshman orientation will take place as planned on Friday. All academic advisors and personnel involved in the following colleges will need to be at the university:

• Architecture
• Business
• CLASS
• Education
• Honors
• Natural Sciences and Mathematics
• Pharmacy
• Technology
• Office of Undergraduate Academic Development and Retention

Also, the Testing Center will be open.

Please make every effort to minimize confusion for our students and incoming freshmen.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Jay Gogue
Chancellor, UH System
President, University of Houston
