| COVID-19 DISCLOSURE | IN MARCH 2020, THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION DECLARED THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS ("COVID-19") A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. THE RELATED ADVERSE PUBLIC HEALTH DEVELOPMENTS, INCLUDING ORDERS TO SHELTER-IN-PLACE, TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS, AND MANDATED BUSINESS CLOSURES, HAVE ADVERSELY AFFECTED WORKFORCES, ORGANIZATIONS, THEIR CUSTOMERS, ECONOMIES, AND FINANCIAL MARKETS GLOBALLY, LEADING TO INCREASE MARKET VOLATILITY AND DISRUPTION IN NORMAL BUSINESS OPERATIONS, INCLUDING THE UNIVERSITY'S OPERATIONS.

THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS MUST APPROVE PLANS FOR BRINGING EMPLOYEES AND STUDENTS BACK TO IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION.

FIFTY PERCENT OF THE EMERGENCY FUNDS RECEIVED BY INSTITUTIONS MUST GO DIRECTLY TO STUDENTS IN THE FORM OF EMERGENCY FINANCIAL AID GRANTS TO COVER EXPENSES RELATED TO THE DISRUPTIONS OF CAMPUS OPERATIONS DUE TO COVID-19. INSTITUTIONS MAY USE REMAINING EMERGENCY FUNDS NOT GIVEN TO STUDENTS ON COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE DELIVERY OF INSTRUCTION DUE TO COVID-19. SUBSEQUENT AND SIMILAR TO THE CARES ACT, THE HIGHER EDUCATION EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND II (HEERF II) WAS AUTHORIZED BY THE CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE AND RELIEF SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2021 (CRRSAA) AND SIGNED INTO LAW ON DECEMBER 27, 2020. $81.88 BILLION WAS AUTHORIZED IN SUPPORT FOR EDUCATION, IN ADDITION TO THE $30.75 BILLION PROVIDED SPRING OF 2020 THROUGH THE CARES ACT. IN ADDITION, THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN (ARP) AUTHORIZED THE HIGHER EDUCATION EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND III (HEERF III) SIGNED INTO LAW ON MARCH 11, 2021, PROVIDING $39.6 BILLION IN SUPPORT TO INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION TO SERVE STUDENTS AND ENSURE LEARNING CONTINUES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
