From the transcript

And, you know, if in fact we have some unused FTEs that are being used to fund non-labor items, then let's understand what that's actually looking like and what the departmental needs are, what the true departmental needs are, so that we can respond to those appropriately. And that's, that's sort of the next step. I think that feels like an important step for us to understand is, you know, what is that balance in this moment? Thanks.
