The university will fully implement the policy by Aug. 19 — the week before fall classes start.
UT Austin has tens of thousands of faculty and staff members, making it one of the area's largest employers.
In an email to the campus community Wednesday, UT President Jay Hartzell said leaders of individual colleges and schools will finalize logistics by early July, and the policy will fully take affect by Aug. 19 — the week before fall classes start. Some roles will still be eligible for remote or hybrid work based on what department leaders decide. Hartzell didn't share specifics, but said the roles"will be characterized by observable productivity; work that is transactional, internal, or service related; or functions that require high levels of individual time to perform."
"Most of my job is with students over Zoom," she said."A lot of students ... they commute to UT, they have jobs, they have other things going on outside of school. Not everybody is able to stay on campus and meet with advisers for whatever they need."
