40.2.21 Debt Management Policy (new) Note: The Debt Management Policy was previously housed on the Office of Institutional Research website. The policy has been revised and converted to a university policy.
70.1.1
Acceptable
Use Policy for
Information Technology Resources (reverted) Note:
Revisions of the Acceptable Use Policy that were posted on August 22,
2016,
have been removed and the policy has been reverted back to its August
22, 2014,
version. This reversion is effective pending additional revisions to
the policy
for clarity.
The Ad Hoc
Committee was charged as follows: Consider
the feasibility and desirability of video recording and live web
streaming
University Senate meetings, and archiving those video recordings online
for
later viewing. Include in discussions aspects of the issues of
transparency,
technology, costs, benefits, audience, need, personal privacy of
participants,
etc. Present arguments both for and against the streaming and archiving.
The FPAC was charged as follows: Examine Rutgers’ policies on salary adjustments for staff. In particular, review University Policy 60.4.10, which limits Rutgers staff employees’ salary adjustments following promotion or reclassification to levels below those that may be negotiated or offered for newly hired staff employees. Where appropriate, make recommendations for modifying the policy.
The ASRAC was charged as follows: At the request of Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Barbara Lee, consider a proposal to move the official graduation date from October to August for students who complete degree requirements in the summer, which ensures that official reporting of summer degrees falls within the parameters of federal reporting regulations and better reflects when students actually complete their degrees.
The
Faculty and Personnel Affairs Committee (FAPC) has
reviewed the following charge S-1615: Hiring Preference for Rutgers
Graduates:
Consider the feasibility of preference in hiring for graduates of
Rutgers
University, other considerations (including collective bargaining)
being equal.
Explore similar policies at peer institutions. If deemed appropriate,
recommend
changes in hiring policy. Respond to Senate Executive Committee by
October
2017. [Issued November 2015.]
The
Faculty and Personnel Affairs Committee (FAPC) has
determined that S-1615: Hiring Preference for Rutgers Graduates should
be
discharged. FPAC has determined that S-1615: Hiring Preference for
Rutgers
Graduates may violate existing university collective bargaining
agreements and
may undermine Rutgers commitment to diversity and equal employment
opportunity.
If this policy is pursued this would mean that Rutgers, The State
University of
New Jersey would select Rutgers over graduates of other state
universities,
colleges and community colleges in the State of New Jersey.
The
State of New Jersey has set categories for preference
for employment in the New Jersey civil service. Preferences exist for
Veterans
and Disabled Veterans. Rutgers University follows a policy to provide
affirmative action and equal employment opportunity to all its
employees and
applicants for employment. Rutgers University actively seeks to recruit
and
employ veterans.
We
feel that it is inappropriate for the Rutgers Senate to
recommend a preferential hiring policy for Rutgers graduates as it
would most
likely violate New Jersey and Federal employment law and violate
established
equal employment policies of Rutgers University.
