Government employees question

[funkendrenchman]

Are public university employees considered state government employees?

It depends on the institution.

I'm an employee of the University of California, but that is considered separate from being a state employee. I believe in some institutions employees are state employees (I think CSU employees may be, but I'm not sure).

Interesting... my roommate works at Goldman at Cal and I thought she said that she had some required time off (i.e. furloughs)?

Yes, the UC is furloughing employees funded from the UC general fund (non-endowed faculty, administration, administrative staff and maintenance), but that was decided by the UC Regents not the State.

Those of us paid from external funds aren't subject to the furloughs.

I work for a public university, but am not an employee of the state. It's like that for the majority of the staff here.

I work at a combo private/state university (some programs are state funded others are private) in the private/endowed side of things. Everything from rate of pay, type of health insurance, how/when layoffs happen, retirement plans etc are different between the state side and the private side. So I would assume that yes the employees of this state school are indeed state employees.

I'd venture a guess and say it comes down to how your state handles it's state universities/colleges.
