Officials accidentally terminated “several” student workers in the Division of Development and Alumni Relations earlier this year.

University spokeswoman Crystal Nosal confirmed the accidental terminations, adding that the students have been rehired and paid for the hours they worked. Division of Development and Alumni Relations staff first noticed the issue during Colonials Weekend when students had a difficult time clocking-in for work, she said.

“Upon further investigation it was determined that the students were marked as terminated in the HR system and their information had to be re-submitted,” Nosal said in an email. “No students were terminated from the system intentionally or for cause.”

Nosal declined to say how many student workers in the Division of Development and Alumni Relations were terminated since the start of the semester. She declined to say how many students the division currently employs.
