Parking, CRC refunds; discontinuing automatic deductions
Parking, CRC membership refunds; discontinuing automatic deductions on paychecks
Many University of Cincinnati faculty and staff receive automatic deductions from their paychecks on a biweekly or monthly basis in order to cover costs for campus parking permits.
And numerous employees do the same in order to cover costs for membership in the Campus Recreation Center.
Because of the recent changes in campus operations, wherein many faculty and staff are working remotely in order to maintain UC's educational mission while seeking to contain the spread of COVID-19, the university will provide a reimbursement, on a pro-rata basis, to those employees with an automatic paycheck deduction for parking and/or for CRC membership.
The pro-rata March 2020 reimbursement will cover the time period of March 25 through the end of the month. That pro-rata reimbursement will appear on April paychecks. (The reimbursement will appear on April paychecks because changes in campus operations occurred too late to alter March paychecks. Thus, expect to see the usual automatic deductions to employees' March 2020 paychecks.)
However, no automatic paycheck deductions for parking or CRC memberships will be made in either April or May 2020.
Continue to visit UC's publichealth website for university updates, and as always, please practice social distancing to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases. Keep a distance of at least six feet between yourself and another person. Practice proper hand washing; avoid touching your face; cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, etc.

App turns smartwatch into detector of structural heart disease
November 10, 2025
An app that uses an AI model to read a single-lead ECG from a smartwatch can detect structural heart disease, researchers reported at the 2025 Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association. Although the technology requires further validation, researchers said it could help improve the identification of patients with heart failure, valvular conditions and left ventricular hypertrophy before they become symptomatic, which could improve the prognosis for people with these conditions.
