From: DDDH send Date: February 6, 2007 1:22:48 PM CST To: DDDH@LISTSERV.UIC.EDU Subject: Notices of Non-reappointment Reply-To: DDDH send There are a number of policies and procedures regarding the notice of non-reappointment required for the various groups of academic employees, including those who return after retirement.   All units should familiarize themselves with the rules affecting each employee group.    Notices of non-reappointment from the Board of Trustees must be sent prior to the beginning of the non-reappointment notice period.  Therefore, required forms and documents are to be submitted to Faculty Affairs Human Resources (tenure-track and non-tenured faculty only) or to UIC HR - Academic Human Resources (academic professionals and post-docs only) or to the appropriate Service Center approximately three weeks prior to the beginning date of the non-reappointment notice period or when an earlier date is specified by the Board of Trustees Office.  Confirmation of the home address information listed in Banner for the employee will need to be indicated on the documents forwarded.    For all positions where no formal notice of nonreappointment is required, units should do their best to give a reasonable period of notice if an employee’s contract will not be extended.   For information pertaining to the specific non-reappointment guidelines for academic professionals and post-docs, please refer to the following website:  http://www.uic.edu/depts/hr/ahr/Terminal%20Notice%20Memo.htm  .   For information pertaining to the specific non-reappointment guidelines for tenure-track and non-tenured faculty please refer to the following website: http://www.uic.edu/depts/oaa/Docs/DDDH_Memo_Faculty_Nonreappointment_Policy.pdf From: Sylvia Manning Date: February 6, 2007 4:35:09 PM CST To: DDDH@LISTSERV.UIC.EDU Subject: New Faculty and Student Grievance Procedures Reply-To: "manning@uic.edu"   February 6, 2007   Deans, Directors, Department Heads and Chairs               Dear Colleagues:   I am pleased to announce the implementation of revised Faculty and Instructional Staff Grievance Procedures and Student Academic Grievance Procedures, effective March 1, 2007.  I want to thank the members of the two task forces, whose names are listed below, for their hard work in producing these new procedures.   Until now, a single set of grievance procedures applied to students, faculty, and academic professional staff. These procedures were cumbersome and involved multiple stages of appeal. It was clear that separate grievance procedures were needed for employees and students. Thus a major change has been to accomplish this separation so that the process of responding to grievances could be simplified and professionalized.     From late 2005 to Spring 2006, two campus-wide task forces worked on modifying the existing procedures. The goal of both groups was to ensure that every employee and student with a grievance has access to due process and a fair hearing. Each task force included faculty and staff representing a broad range of campus constituencies, including those offices that have traditionally dealt with grievances. Comment on the resulting procedures was solicited from the Deans, Vice Chancellors, and representatives of the Senate. The suggestions were incorporated into the final versions and the Provost and I have reviewed and approved these documents.   Recently, Michael Tanner and John Loya agreed that the employee grievance procedures needed to be further divided, with one set of procedures pertaining to faculty and instructional staff and the other to academic professionals. An additional document, Employee Grievance Procedures, which will cover academic professional employees, is presently in the process of being revised by the Office of Human Resources.  In the interim, Executive Notice 89-2, UIC Academic Grievance Procedures, will remain in effect for academic professionals.   The Faculty and Instructional Staff Grievance Procedures cover all instructors not already subject to negotiated agreements (e.g., teaching assistants), while the Student Academic Grievance Procedures cover all enrolled students not otherwise subject to negotiated agreements (e.g., graduate assistants). Both of the procedures involve fewer steps, particularly at the stage of appeal, and emphasize the importance of attempting to resolve problems informally before they reach the stage of becoming a grievance.   For students and instructional staff, these new procedures replace the UIC Academic Grievance Procedures of March 9, 1989 (revised March 22, 2003). The procedures will be officially announced and posted on the UIC Website, Office of the Provost, in advance of their March 1 implementation.   Employee Task Force Members Joseph Persky, Professor, Department of Economics (Chair) Michael Bailie, Interim Head, Department of Pediatrics Donna Del Principe, Assistant University Counsel Catherine Foley-Divittorio, Director of Human Resources, College of Education Patricia Gill, Associate Chancellor for Access and Equity Anthony Graham-White, Coordinator of Undergraduate Theater Studies, Department of Performing Arts    Stephen Holz, Associate University Counsel Natsuko Kihara, former Assistant to the Provost Susan Levine, Director of Graduate Studies, Department of History Ami McReynolds, Associate Director of Human Resources Development Mrinalini C.

Like most colleges and universities, UIC's allocation has remained relatively the same for the last three years. However, during this same time span the number of UIC students working via the FWS program has increased over 56%. The result is that between the 2004 and 2006 fiscal years, the total student earnings via the FWS program increased over 60%. Based upon current earnings the Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) is projecting that all FWS funds for the 2007 fiscal year will be exhausted as of May 5, 2007. Therefore, there will be no FWS funds available to students for the summer of 2007. Hence the OSFA will not award, nor will the Office of Student Employment authorize any FWS positions for the summer of 2007. If a student has not accepted the FWS award and/or does not have an appointment for a FWS job by the close of business on Friday, March 9, 2007, the OSFA will be removing their award to prevent potential over expenditure. In addition, this also means that all FWS earning transfers must be completed by the close of business on Friday, May 4, 2007. Please plan accordingly, as none will be accepted after this date. As many may know, the State of Illinois recently passed legislation increasing the minimum wage over the next three years, with the first increase taking effect July 1, 2007. Taking this into account with the other factors previously mentioned, the OSFA is projecting a substantial short fall in FWS funds for the 2008 fiscal year without any changes to how the program is currently administrated. Therefore, very shortly a campus group will be formed to look at possible remedies to address this funding problem for fiscal 2008 and beyond. Once the committee has completed its work and makes a recommendation, you will be notified accordingly. Thank you for your understanding.

While these letters should no longer be forwarded to UICHR Academic Human Resources, the letter of appointment must be issued and conform to the letter of appointment template on the HR website at: http://www.uic.edu/depts/hr/quicklinks/hrforms/LOA.htm.   We hope that this will save departments one step in routing. We ask however, that those handling these appointments -be mindful of three points:   1. The content of letters of offer/appointments should reflect the terms of the actual appointment processed through the PITR, EPAF or Salary Planner. 2. The letters should be reissued when terms of the appointment change or are renewed each semester or contract term. 3. Departments could be called upon to produce these letters upon request of auditors or respond to union-related inquiries.   If you have any questions regarding this matter, I ask that you contact Joyce Winn, 312-996-6357 (jwinn@uic.edu). From: DDDH Send Date: February 27, 2007 10:19:59 AM CST To: DDDH@LISTSERV.UIC.EDU Subject: Graduate Fellowship Competition 2007-2008 Reply-To: DDDH Send UIC Institute for Environmental Science and Policy Graduate Fellowship Competition 2007-2008   The UIC Institute for Environmental Science and Policy (IESP) seeks to award up to three Ph.D. fellowships for the 2007-2008 year.   The mission of IESP is to advance collaborative inquiry among the environmental sciences and engineering, economics, social thought, and policy among UIC’s faculty and students, transmit workable solutions for environmental problem to the public sectors, and to prepare the next generation of environmental decision-makers.  These guidelines set forth the procedures for applying for student fellowships within the Institute. The Meaning of Interdisciplinary Research: New ideas often lie at the borders of academic disciplines, including the many that have contributed to advances in environmental scholarship.  For IESP fellowships, the program of study, the theme of the proposed research, and the methodologies to be used should be interdisciplinary in nature. Interdisciplinary study is integrative (although reductive science methodologies are often employed), and seeks to forge new models of scholarship that build upon traditional disciplines. Fellowships are multidisciplinary in approach, but work to integrate major elements of disciplinary knowledge to synthesize a new knowledge base.  True interdisciplinary scholarship is often a moving target, and what was once considered an “interdiscipline” has evolved over time into a formal discipline.  For example, the integration of concepts from chemistry, microbiology, and sanitary engineering has resulted in the creation of environmental engineering – a mature and growing body of knowledge today.  The synthesis of concepts from various disciplines of engineering and science, economics, planning, architecture, and ethics has created the newly formed interdiscipline of industrial ecology. Research Topics: Research topics within the IESP doctoral fellowship program are highly varied. Topical areas have included, but are not limited to, the following: • The development of commensurable metrics for assessing sustainability • Novel technologies for limiting waste emissions during manufacturing • Analysis of environmental policies based on extended product or producer responsibility • New manufacturing methods that enhance product recovery and/or recycling • Applications of total cost accounting for assessment of environmental costs • Material substitution for improved waste management • Sustainability theory • Aspects and impacts of local, regional, and global material, energy, or information flows through an economy • The role of market forces in carrying out environmental regulatory policy • Analysis of manufacturing methods to improve environmental performance • Valuation of ecosystem services • Life cycle inventory and assessment of human industrial activities • The interface of social and environmental policies, particularly in urban regions • New systems approaches for environmental management Criteria for Selection: • Relevance of the research theme to the mission of IESP • Extent to which the research plan draws upon and synthesizes knowledge from several disciplinary areas • Likelihood that the research will lead to new themes of environmental scholarship • Multidisciplinary nature of coursework, advising strategy, and plans for publication of results • Willingness of faculty mentors to support, both financially and intellectually, the research described Application, Schedule, and Deadlines:
 All full-time graduate students pursuing doctoral studies at UIC, regardless of residency or major, are eligible to apply for IESP doctoral fellowships. Applications must be made directly by a student, including first year students, and must include a statement of approval by the student’s advisor.  The goal is to build the intellectual strength of IESP in environmental scholarship.  Therefore, all applications must indicate a strong willingness to participate, by both students and advisors, in the core functions of IESP, and must credit the support of IESP in any publications that result from the research effort. Regardless of the topical area, applications must address how the research is congruent with the aims of the fellowship program.  All applications must include UIC and/or prior college transcripts, a brief (one page) curriculum vita, and three letters of reference from UIC faculty members or others who are familiar with the student’s record of achievement, including a letter from the students’ advisor. The IESP doctoral fellowship program is intended to supplant and augment other sources of student support, thus the type and anticipated amounts of such support should be explicitly stated. Evaluation will be by a panel of IESP faculty and associates. An exploratory meeting about the IESP fellowship program is scheduled for Monday March 19 at 3PM, Room 524, SPHW, 2121 W. Taylor Street.  All interested faculty and students are encouraged to attend; please RSVP to Maggie Jameson (maggiej@uic.edu).Completed applications should be no more than five pages in length, excluding transcripts, letters of reference, and bibliography.  Applications are due Monday April 16, 2007 by 3PM. All application materials must be sent as a single PDF file to Maggie Jameson (maggiej@uic.edu). Fellowship awardees will be notified by June 1, 2007. Questions regarding the application procedure or the administration of fellowships should be directed to Professor Thomas L. Theis, (312) 996-1081 or theist@uic.edu.
