Revisions to University Policy 102.5 reflect changes based on “Personnel Management Flexibility to Appoint and Fix Compensation of EPA Positions, Further Delegations from the Chancellor,” dated March 2003.
That document provides: “Emeritus Faculty status must be approved by the Chancellor upon nomination by the Department Chair and recommendation by the Dean, and Provost.” The Office of the President has confirmed that under personnel management flexibility, the authority to approve emeritus faculty appointments is delegated from the Board of Trustees to the Chancellor.
The revisions reflect the Chancellor’s authority to make final decisions on appointment of emeritus faculty.
This new University Policy is established as required by The University of North Carolina Board of Governors Policy 300.1.6 and Regulation 300.1.6[R].
This University Policy covers voluntary and involuntary relinquishments of duties by Senior Academic and Administrative Officers, as identified at UNC Charlotte in University Policy 81, with the exception of the Chancellor. In accordance with Board of Governors Policy 300.1.6 and Regulation 300.1.6[R], University Policy 78 addresses four circumstances of voluntary and involuntary relinquishments of duties by SAAOs (other than the Chancellor): retreat to a faculty position, reappointment of an administrator without faculty retreat rights, separation from the University, and retirement.
This new University Policy addresses petty cash funds and change funds. The old petty cash "policy" consisted of a single paragraph withinUniversity Policy 50, “Purchasing Policy,” and was inadequate to address the various ways petty cash is being used on campus. Specifically, the single paragraph in University Policy 50 did not address issues of accountability, security, replenishment, appropriate uses of petty cash funds and change funds, all of which have been addressed in this new policy.
The revisions to this University Policy add new provisions regarding accounting for lost time when the University is on a delayed schedule and clarify existing provisions regarding accounting for lost time when the University is closed or classes are canceled. The revisions also specify that faculty and non-faculty employees who telework or work in alternate locations not affected by the adverse weather or unusual conditions are expected to work their normal schedule. Finally, the term “hazardous” in the title and text of the University Policy is changed to "adverse,” to correlate with the terminology of the State policy.
These revisions correspond with the Registrar's practice of releasing a student's directory information previously withheld at the student's request only after the Registrar receives the student's written authorization to do so. Formerly, if the student filed the necessary form requesting that the Registrar not release directory information, that request expired after one year. The change provides better Registrar management of student requests to withhold directory information.
Revisions eliminate the requirement that administrators provide the Chancellor with an Annual Report Summary ("ARS") about submission of EPA departmental conflicts of interest forms. However, each full-time and part-time EPA employee will continue to submit the "Annual Evaluation Form for Possible Conflicts of Interest" as required by the Board of Governors.
HIPAA is a 1996 federal statute with many purposes related to health care information. The new University policy statement primarily affects matters of privacy and confidentiality of health care information related to the health care activities of the Brocker Health Center and certain university offices that provide support services to Brocker Health Center.
Revisions clarify the tuition privilege for eligible faculty and staff during the summer instructional period (one course over the entire summer), and make minor grammatical changes.
Revisions include
This University Policy was revised to clarify and emphasize the University's responsibility to protect and preserve all University Property. Such revisions include provisions requiring that all University employees have the obligation to report actual or attempted arson, damage, theft, embezzlement, or misuse of any State-owned personal property, buildings or other real property. These revisions are partly in response to heightened scrutiny of state agency loss-control measures by North Carolina Executive Branch officials.
