USU Faculty Reappointment Cycle Update

Posted on Updated on

Good morning/afternoon to everyone,

Just an update about the faculty reappointment cycle.  And thank you to all that responded to my last email.  

First – 100% of initial letters were sent by 17 July.  If you signed and returned to the facultyreappointment@usuhs.edu email, thank you.  

Second – Approximately 2 weeks ago I received a list of emails that bounced back to Human Resources and that list went to the department Chairs here at USU, and thank you for sending those back if you received one. 

Now we are in the last 2 phases playing catch-up.  Last week I started receiving letters from those of you who reached back to me last month and I am sending those out.  Please give me this week to complete that. 

By the end of the month I should receive a full list of names who need to return their letters.  At that point, I will work with the Department Chairs here at USU to finish connecting with each of you.  

As I stated before – I know many faculty have found inaccuracies in military rank or location. I am sorry USU has not had a clear process to keep up with this in the past.  If you have an issue with location or military rank sign the letter, email back and then let me know directly.  These items I will work on throughout the fall once we finish this.  If you have a colleague not receiving this email they either have an inaccurate email OR they do not have an active appointment and send that to me.  

Thank you for your patience as we are working through this and hopefully will continue to improve our processes and communication. 

**If you emailed me to inactivate you and you still received this email, it should be the last time. 

**For those of you who have requested wall hanging certificates — an update.  We have distributed all of the local ones in the NCR that I knew about.  If you are at a teaching GME MTF you should get yours the week of 9 September.  The remainder we are mailing some every week, and should be done by mid-Sept with the 4 year backlog. 

**Of note — mark your calendars as I will be doing the Fall Faculty Affairs briefing VIRTUALLY ONLY on 22 Oct.  There will be 2 times – 0730 and 1500 EST.  More info to come. 

Thank you for all you do for the University.
