Employee work arrangements are subject to supervisor approval. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our system and campus leadership teams will have final say on which jobs need to have a physical presence,&#8221; Carter said. &#8220;I want to reiterate our goal is to maintain the continuity of our work while also protecting the health and safety of our faculty, staff, and students, along with the community around
