From the transcript
That's sort of an ancillary piece of this is to get a beat on, you know, are we— do we need to think differently about our labor versus non-labor budget? 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.
