Administrative w88 online casino NSHE Code Changes
There are two proposed NSHE Code Changes that will be voted on at the Dec. 3-4 Board of Regents w88 online casino.
1) Shortening of Termination Notice for Faculty Hired after Dec. 15, 2015 w88 online casino 1 year to 60 days
2) Ability to Transfer Administrative w88 online casino among TMCC, WNC and the University of Nevada, Reno by the Chancellor. The Chancellor can also choose to transfer Administrative w88 online casino among the southern institutions.
The Faculty w88 online casino unanimously approved a resolution on the importance of our Administrative Faculty and the negative impact of these proposed changes. The Faculty w88 online casino Executive Board has developed position papers on both changes. In addition, Chair David Sanders has been working with the NSHE Council of Chairs to express concerns to NSHE Leadership. The resolution and supporting documents can be found on the Faculty w88 online casino website.
Canvas will replace Blackboard as Learning Management System with WebCampus
