On March 31, Gov. Patrick Morrisey issued a proclamation declaring an official half-day holiday for state employees on Friday (April 3). Since WVU will already observe April 3 as a holiday, the University has modified its holiday calendar to include an additional 3.75 hour “floating” holiday (pro-rated by FTE) for leave-eligible employees.
