PRESIDENT’S REPORT I have had a very busy month. I attended JHCC meetings, a SHCC meeting, a 2 day Staff Alliance retreat and have been appointed to serve on the Provost search committee. As a staff representative on the committee, I am tasked with asking you for feedback on what characteristics you would like in a Provost, and what characteristics you would not like in a Provost. STAFF ALLIANCE Staff Alliance held its spring retreat in Anchorage on March 22 & 23rd. Items discussed were health care and compensation. Reports from Chris Christensen on the Legislature, Donald Smith on tuition waiver, a draft code of conduct and tobacco hiring and President Gamble. The motion from UAA APT council was presented. Staff Alliance would like to gather input on which of the following three options staff support: 1) a tobacco surcharge; 2) a tobacco free campus; 3) a tobacco hiring policy. The draft policy for the tuition waiver is attached. A motion from UAF Staff Council regarding reinvestigating the geographic differential was presented. The Compensation subcommittee will look into this. The Staff Alliance Bylaws were updated and presented for a first reading. The first reading passed. Staff Alliance is looking at developing a newsletter to be published electronically once or twice a year. The calendar for the next year was set. UNIVERSITY ASSEMBLY Provost Driscoll spoke on the legislative budget process. Amendments were being considered to add back in some of the Regents requests. The Dean searches for CAS and COE are coming to a close with candidates expected on campus in April. The searches for the Deans of COH and SOE have met with consultants. The Provost search has identified 2 co-chairs and is drafting a list of members. There will be an announcement on the interim Provost soon. There is concern regarding the listening sessions regarding a lack of scientific approach. The sessions have multiple objectives, including reaching out to communities. James Hemsath presented on Alumni relations. There will be an increase in scholarship awards this year. Advancement discussed the branding process. They will develop 5-6 brand statements and get feedback on them. Vice Chancellor Shultz presented on student services. A new Military/Veterans newsletter has been published. There is also a boot camp training to help staff and faculty learn to deal with military and veteran students. New career cluster brochures have been developed and are almost ready for release. Lora Volden is the new Registrar. A committee was set to evaluate the “Staff Makes Student’s Count” award applications. The May meeting will be moved up a day in order not to conflict with Development Day. STAFF HEALTH CARE COMMITTEE/JOINT HEALTH CARE COMMITTEE The Joint Health Care Committee met at the beginning of March to discuss numbers. There is a $3.5 million under recovery in the employee contribution to the plan. The under recovery was caused by a variety of issues, including not raising rates last year, under projecting plan migration, and lack of previous over recovery smoothing rates. The Committee made several recommendations, and finally decided on the following for setting the FY 13 rates. The committee recommended using a blended trend with a 25% migration from plan to plan and a 11% opt out for the plan. The plan will recover 80% of the $3.5million under recovery in FY13 with the balance recovered in FY14. The Staff Health Care Committee discussed the health care rates, the tobacco free hiring and the meeting schedule for the rest of this year. Craig Mead stepped down from chairing the committee. Melodee Monson will chair the committee for the rest of this year. The Committee is soliciting

feedback from groups regarding what the University could do as an incentive to encourage tobacco users to change their lifestyle./ UAA FACULTY AND STAFF ASSOCIATION The Faculty and Staff Association met Julia Martinez and Chris Turletes. Paula Donson was unable to keep her scheduled appointment with the group. PBAC The PBAC committee discussed the amendment to the budget. APT COUNCIL ELECTIONS Please remember to let Jamey know if you plan to run again for another term if yours is up this year. Also remember to send Jamey a short biography.

UAA EOP APPENDIX M

MISSING PERSONS

INTRODUCTION:

UAA involved officials will participate to the fullest extent possible in gathering information about, and locating students, employees, or visitors who are reported to be missing. The Anchorage campus maintains a missing student notification policy and protocol for students who live on campus.

MANAGEMENT OPTIONS:

Should a student, employee, or visitor be considered to be missing, usually for a period of 24 hours or more, individuals should report this to University Police. Shorter absences may result in police investigation, depending on aggravating circumstances. The case officer will gather information about the reporting person’s concerns, and will attempt to determine the missing person’s clothing description, vehicle, class schedule, and other details which may help in locating the person.

If a resident student has been missing for 24 hours, individuals should report this to University Housing and/or Residence Life staff members. Roommates and friends of the missing person may be interviewed. Staff could attempt to locate the resident by going to his room, class, other areas frequented, and follow up with phone calls or email. The report will be referred to University Police. If a “confidential contact” is on file for the missing person, Residence Life and/or investigating police will contact them within 24 hours of the report. In the event that the missing resident is younger than 18, officials will talk with the “parental emergency contact” listed in Housing registration files.

In situations where criminal activity or malicious intent is suspected, UPD may elicit information and assistance from state or local agencies and the general public. The CRT, activated through the University Police dispatch center at 786-1120, can convene to gather information and aid in decision-making and notifications. The CRT or Chancellor’s cabinet may also activate the UA System Incident Management Team by contacting the Emergency Management director at 907-450-8149. If accurate information exists about the missing person’s last known direction of travel, investigating officers may choose to call out trained employees and volunteers to assist in an organized search. During a pre-activity briefing, a recent photograph and other relevant information will be distributed to searchers, as well as details for communicating with the UAA point of contact in command of the search. Untrained volunteers may be paired with trained searchers. Resources to be considered for ground searches would include the UPD Auxiliary Emergency Team when available, Anchorage Police Search Team, search & rescue volunteers coordinated through the Alaska State Troopers dispatch, or others.

Once the missing person is located, the reporting person shall be updated.

UAA APT Council Bylaws Revision Committee The committee met via eLive on Tuesday, November 22, 2011. The members of the committee were Brian Brubaker, Mike Smith, Dayna Defeo, and Dawson Moore. The following references were reviewed by the committee.

UAA APT Council Constitution and Bylaws

UAA Classified Council Constitution and Bylaws

UAA Faculty Senate Constitution and Bylaws

UAA Assembly Constitution and Bylaws

UAA Alumni Association Bylaws

Union of Students of UAA Constitution and Bylaws

UAA Governance Organizational Chart

Memoranda from President Hamilton to Chancellors Regarding Participation in Governance, November 11, 1998

UAF Staff Council Constitution and Bylaws

UAS Staff Council Association Constitution and Bylaws

Statewide Administration Assembly Constitution and Bylaws

Staff Governance Organizations at US Public Universities The committee considered six items that UAA APT Council President Melodee Monson requested be reviewed at the September 2011 meeting. MM point #1: officers in the constitution, article 4, section 1 – no secretary/treasurer exists or has existed in some time. The committee recommends that Article IV, Section 1 of the UAA APT Council Constitution be amended to read, “Officers of the Council will be a president and vice president.” The committee recommends that Article III, Section 2 of the UAA APT Council Bylaws be amended to delete the phrase “and Secretary/Treasurer” from the first sentence, and that the third sentence of this section be deleted. MM point #2: Joint Meetings (once in the fall and once in the spring). It was mentioned that the UAA Classified Council Constitution and Bylaws were revised in 2010 to reflect the joint meetings. But the version on the governance website is dated from 1999. Jamey Cordery from the UAA Governance Office emailed us a copy of draft UAA Classified Council

Page 12 of 19

Page 2; UAA APT Council Bylaws Review Committee Report

Bylaws from their February and March 2011 agendas that included language about the joint meetings, but we were uncertain if these drafts were adopted by that council or not. The committee consensus was that adding language to the UAA APT Council constitution and/or bylaws regarding joint meetings with the UAA Classified Council was an unnecessary step and that joint meetings can occur without being mandated by the bylaws. MM point #3: (Liaison with Classified Council) The committee consensus was that adding language to the UAA APT Council constitution and/or bylaws regarding liaisons with the UAA Classified Council was an unnecessary step and that liaisons can exist and do their work without being mandated by the bylaws. MM point #4: The last revision of the UAA Classified Council Constitution and Bylaws occurred in 1999. MM point #5: Number of members (Constitution Article III, Section 2 & Bylaws Article I, Section 1) MM point #6: Community campus involvement (Bylaws Article I, Section 1) It was pointed out that according to the information presented in the October 2011 UAA APT Council meeting agenda attachments, the ratio of APT (Exempt) employees to UAA APT Council Representatives is approximately 23:1. By comparison, according to the FY2010 information from the Governance Review Committee (reported in February 2010), the ratio of Classified (Non-Exempt) employees to UAA Classified Council Representatives is approximately 38:1. Apparently there is a discrepancy about the number of non-exempt employees between what was reported by the 2009-2010 Governance Review Committee and what was reported from sources unknown in the October 2011 agenda. The difference, 913 non-exempt employees in November 2009 versus 609 non-exempt employees in October 2011, is of such a magnitude that the fact the figures come from two years apart does not explain the discrepancy. There are 24 seats on the UAA Classified Council, so if there are 913 non-exempt employees then the ratio of employees to representatives is 38:1; but if there are 609 non-exempt employees then the ratio is 25:1. It was pointed out that according to the information presented in the October 2011 UAA APT Council meeting agenda attachments, 27/341 – 7.9% - of UAA exempt employees work at extended campuses but 4/15 – 26.7% - of UAA APT Council seats are reserved for extended campus employees. Increasing the number of seats on the UAA APT Council would make the ratio of employees to representatives grow smaller. This ratio for APT is already less than the Classified Council’s ratio and increasing the number of APT seats would further increase the distance between those ratios. Decreasing the number of seats on the UAA APT Council while simultaneously leaving unchanged the dedication of four seats to community campuses would make the representation ratio much worse for the main campus.

Page 3; UAA APT Council Bylaws Review Committee Report

The committee consensus was that there should be no change to the number of members or the current provisions for community campus involvement. Recommendation: Constitution, Article V, Section 3. Amend to read: “Meetings of the general membership may be called as needed.” Recommendation: Constitution, Article II, last sentence of second paragraph Amend to read: "... to the appropriate audiences as necessary." Recommendation: Article V, Section 3.c. Amend to read: "Members will be asked to submit secret ballots." (Delete the second sentence) Recommendation: Bylaws, Article VI, section 1. Amend to read: "There are no standing committees of the APT Council." Add: Section 5. "Council members who serve on other institutional, advisory, or governance committees may make reports at regular council meetings." Recommendation: There should be a PBAC representative report at least annually. Recommendation: Bylaws, Article I, Section 1. Change “Kenai College” to “Kenai Peninsula College”. Change “Prince William Sound College” to “Prince William Sound Community College”. Recommendation: Bylaws (Wherever occurs) Bylaws need to be spelled consistently. References to "President" need to be consistent.

From: <ua-president-l@lists.alaska.edu> Date: April 2, 2012 4:09:53 PM AKDT To: <ua-president-l@lists.uaf.edu> Subject: [From UA President Gamble] University of Alaska Values and Code of Conduct

M E M O R A N D U M DATE: March 30, 2012 TO: University of Alaska Employees FROM: Pat Gamble, President RE: University of Alaska Values and Code of Conduct I want to take a moment to articulate a set of UA System common values. UA’s mission statement provides: The University of Alaska inspires learning, and advances and disseminates knowledge through teaching, research, and public service, emphasizing the North and its diverse peoples. It shall remain the shared goal of all UA employees to advance this mission in an ethical, safe, and effective manner in accordance with regulations appropriate to the task that also enhance clarity and accountability. Toward that end, I propose a draft employee code of conduct for your review, which we would adopt as a University Regulation. I’ve sent this draft to all elected governance leaders, chancellors and others for input as well. Please send any comments you may have to your governance leadership; they will provide their feedback on the proposed regulation to me by May 1, 2012. Under this code, we shall: 1. Conduct ourselves with integrity and high ethical standards. We are expected to understand and comply with all laws, regulations, and policies related to our work. Specific UA policies and regulations make clear the kind of employee conduct that enhances the University’s mission accomplishment. These policies and procedures can be found at: http://www.alaska.edu/bor/policy-regulations/. A Code of Conduct that I propose to adopt as regulation is attached. It outlines how we all will comply with Regents’ policy. It also provides examples of employee conduct and performance that fail to meet the UA standard and are therefore unacceptable. 2. Treat members of the public and our University community

Page 15 of 19

with professional respect and courtesy. As members of the UA institution, we are each expected to fulfill our obligations toward students, colleagues, and the community fairly, respectfully, and professionally, being mindful of individual rights and the University’s mission. 3. On behalf of our students and their success at UA, perform our functions as employees to the best of our abilities. The character of UA is ultimately derived from the actions of its members, especially its employees. As members of a well regarded institution of higher learning, we must promote a culture of excellence, continuous improvement, and then act accordingly in the best interests of our students and the university community. 4. Take the individual initiative to continuously improve our knowledge, skills, and abilities as employees of Alaska’s university system. Each of us is responsible for regularly taking stock of our work-related skills. We must seek out ways to stay on the leading edge of our career fields. That is our chosen way to fulfill UA’s mission and reach the System’s full potential. 5. Cooperate, Coordinate, and Collaborate with our colleagues as the very best path to effective teamwork, because that is how you build a winning team. UA is a highly complex and geographically dispersed organization. Disparate groups with common purposes exist at every level starting with our three separate universities. Natural forces at work will always tend to form silos. Silos don’t move. Teams working together form bigger teams. Teams move…good teams win! Thank you for your effort.

DRAFT (3/26/2012) UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA CODE OF CONDUCT REGULATION

  

R04.07.020 Code of Conduct To meet the challenges inherent in the University of Alaska’s mission, UA employees are guided by and held to expectations of performance and conduct set out in Regents' Policy, including Policy 04.07.040. In implementing standards, supervisors must be mindful of individual rights and academic freedom. This Code of Conduct serves as a guide in such matters to help determine when action might be appropriate due to employee behavior, including but not limited to:

A. Inattention to Performance, (e.g., unauthorized sleeping, reading, playing games, using the internet or telephone inappropriately, etc.)

B. Unsatisfactory Performance

C. Insubordination

D. Absenteeism, (e.g., unauthorized leave or variation from work hours, or failure to promptly

notify supervisor of unanticipated absences).

E. Violation of Law, Regents’ Policy, or University Regulation, including published rules and procedures, or aiding a violation thereof. See, e.g., The Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act at AS 39.52 and http://www.alaska.edu/hr/forms/hr_ethicsforms/; Policy and Regulation 02.07 on Information Resources; Policy and Regulation 02.09.020 on Possession of Weapons; Policy and Regulation 04.02 on General Personnel policies; Policy and Regulation 04.10 on Ethics and Conduct. Regents' Policy and University Regulation are at http://www.alaska.edu/bor/policy-regulations/.

F. Dishonesty, Theft or Misappropriation of Public Funds or Property, Lying

G. Inability to Work Effectively with Others

H. Fighting on the Job, Acts Endangering Others, (e.g. verbal or physical threats, horseplay,

hazing, damaging property)

I. Inappropriate Behavior, Disrespect, or Harassment of Others

J. Other Personal Misconduct, related to inappropriate or unprofessional conduct outside the workplace that poses a risk of harm to University personnel, students, or property, or that has a significant adverse impact on the University or the employee’s effectiveness.

In summary, employees must not engage in, condone, or have to tolerate inappropriate behavior. If an employee has concerns about any behavior, he or she should be encouraged and welcomed to talk with a supervisor, to the director of Human Resources, or to the Office of the General Counsel.
