Chairperson’s Report and Announcements
- The campus has announced a VSIP for this year. There are differences with this version in comparison to past programs. It is only for tenured faculty and indefinite status academic staff, and decisions on making separation offers are to be made for budgetary reasons. Accepted VSIP offers by faculty will likely result in such faculty positions being unfilled.
- The UW System is funding targeted hires. The System wants to address salary compression in high-demand fields.
Members’ Reports
- G. Rodger reported on the changes to facilities services which will result in changes to priorities on what services will be performed.
