Faculty Welfare Committee Meeting

September 23, 2013

1aMore150The next meeting of the Faculty Welfare Committee will take place on Monday, Septem­ber 30, according to Tamar More, physics. The committee welcomes input from faculty. The Faculty Welfare Committee is charged with:

  • Serving as the official vehicle whereby policies concerning faculty salary, fringe benefits, and working conditions are to be brought to the University administration.
  • Serving as a negotiating team to work directly with the administrative offices on areas of interest to the entire faculty.
  • Assisting faculty in cases where a particular faculty member might have a problem which does not seem to be taken care of through regular channels. The committee’s role in handling any matters brought to it under this consideration will be: 1) to inform the faculty member of all the usual channels open to him/her, 2) to improve communication (if necessary, to bring the parties together for a better understanding of the situation), and 3) to see if correct procedures are followed and that a report, when appropriate, is made to the Academic Senate.

To secure assistance from the committee please contact any member: Tamar More (more@up.edu), Mike Eom (eom@up.edu), Lara Trout (trout@up.edu), Caroline Mann (mann@up.edu), Ken Kleszynski (kkleszyn@up.edu), and Barbara Braband (braband@up.edu).

Laptop Security Service

September 23, 2013

hFBI statistics states that chances of recovering a lost or stolen computer are only 3 percent. UP community members can increase their chances of recovery to over 97 percent by installing the free FrontDoorSoftware, a service provided by the information services division to all students, faculty, and staff by signing up at www.frontdoorsoftware.com/up/. If your computer is stolen, this software allows you to blast a message to the computer that states “THIS COMPUTER IS REPORTED STOLEN”; lock it down remotely; send a text message to the thief; have your laptop yell out for help with a standard message or your own custom message; and use Google Maps to show clues to its location. For more information contact the help desk at 7000 or help@up.edu.
