The University is allocating 60 w88 casino games login faculty positions that will provide critical mass in key research areas while also addressing teaching needs, Provost Kevin Carman announced on Aug. 14.
"We specifically encouraged proposals for 'clusters' of w88 casino games login lines that would be filled over the next 2-5 years and that would provide critical mass in key research areas while also addressing teaching needs," Carman wrote in an email to the campus. He said after receiving many "compelling proposals," a committee that included representation from the w88 casino games login Senate, ASUN, University administration, VPRI, and the Graduate School then tendered recommendations to Carman. Carman conferred with President Marc Johnson in making the final decisions.
"There were many more meritorious proposals than positions, but I am very pleased to inform you that we are allocating 60 w88 casino games login faculty positions," Carman wrote.

Dear Colleagues,
You will recall that we requested proposals in the spring of 2015 for the allocation of w88 casino games login academic faculty positions. We specifically encouraged proposals for "clusters" of faculty lines that would be filled over the next 2-5 years and that would provide critical mass in key research areas while also addressing teaching needs. Not surprisingly, we received many compelling proposals. The proposals were reviewed by a committee that included VPRI Mridul Gautam, ASUN President Caden Fabbi, GSA President Kylie Rowe, Faculty Senate Chair David Sanders, Associate Vice President for Budget and Planning Bruce Shively, and Vice Provosts Stacy Burton, Joe Cline, and David Zeh. The committee members tendered their recommendations to me, and I conferred with President Johnson in making the final decisions. There were many more meritorious proposals than positions, but I am very pleased to inform you that we are allocating 60 w88 casino games login faculty positions as described below.

While we have every intention to fill these w88 casino games login in the future, annual decisions will be based on available budgets. You will be hearing more about these clusters in the near future.
Additional tenure-track w88 casino games login. An additional 17 tenure-track w88 casino games login lines will also be allocated that were not part of cluster proposals.
Lecturers. 15 full-time lecturers were allocated to programs with high teaching demand.
Collectively, the 2017 allocation of academic w88 casino games login among colleges will be: CABNR-3; Liberal Arts-16; Business-6.5; Science-10; DHS-3; Engineering-8; Education-1.5; Journalism-1; Libraries-2; UNCE-1.
Spouses/partners. As part of a w88 casino games login and ongoing initiative, we have allocated 4 faculty lines that will support academic positions for spouses and partners of w88 casino games login hires and current junior faculty. We have developed a policy to guide our use of these positions and will be working with deans to identify candidates. We were also able to address a few spouse/partner opportunities through positions allocated through the regular RFP.
Department chairs. We have allocated 4 lines for external department chair searches. We are working with deans to identify the most impactful opportunities for the w88 casino games login chair positions.
Classified staff. We will be allocating 11 w88 casino games login classified staff positions to academic programs. Deans will be asked to submit brief proposals for these positions later this month.
Graduate Teaching Assistants. 41 w88 casino games login GTA lines will be allocated for FY17. These w88 casino games login positions will be distributed to programs in a manner that is consistent with the allocation of w88 casino games login faculty lines.
Thank you for all that you do to make UNR a great place to learn, discover, and engage.
Regards, Kevin C.
