Updated at 8:15 p.m. for the following correction: Ron Burgess is the executive vice president — not the chief operating officer as previously stated in the article.
All Auburn employees who can work remotely have been asked by the University do so, according to an email from Executive Vice President Ron Burgess.
Burgess stated that faculty and staff should begin working remotely "no later than close of business" on Monday.
Burgess said supervisors should communicate with employees "as soon as possible" about the implementation of working remotely.
