UConn-AAUP COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund – Spring, 2022
In Fall 2020, UConn-AAUP organized the COVID-19 Relief Fund to assist members who had been the most impacted negatively by the virus and awarded approximately $90,000 to provide some relief of extra expenses related to childcare, eldercare, housing, health care or to help off-set a COVID-related loss of income. Two years since the start of the pandemic, the health, economic, and social impacts of COVID-19 continue to impact faculty and athletic personnel at UConn and to exacerbate existing social and economic inequities among UConn-AAUP members.
Therefore, this semester we are once again offering financial support to our members. To prioritize support for those in greatest need, funds will be distributed on a point system based on annual salary and length of service.
| Salary | Points | Membership | Points |
| <$45,000 | 3 | < 2 years | 1 |
| $45,000-$59,999 | 2 | 2-6 years | 2 |
| $60,000-$90,000 | 1 | 6+ years | 3 |
Funds will be distributed in checks from UConn-AAUP to each faculty member. The amount provided per member will be between $300 and $500 until all funds are depleted.
| Points | Award |
| 2 | $300 |
| 3 | $350 |
| 4 | $400 |
| 5 | $450 |
| 6 | $500 |
