September 20, 2009 - September 26, 2009 Archives

The associate deans and the chairs are posing questions to CLA Fiscal Administration that need to be answered as soon as possible. These are questions that IRIS was designed to answer. Due to this fact, we need to adjust the fall 2009 IRIS entry deadline that was established in August. The new deadline is October 9th.

We hope that recent improvements, which include the automatic update of all tenure/tenure track records (approximately 1,200 records each semester), will help everyone meet the new deadline. Your support in this process will allow the college to have better planning data as we work towards completing the FY10 cuts and start our planning towards potential FY11 reductions.

If you have questions please contact Pandora Aaron or Karen Dewanz.

Thank you for your assistance.

CLAIR contains a variety of reports to assist departmental and collegiate staff with curriculum planning and management of instructional resources, including historical course enrollments, student course taking patterns, major/minor counts by department and plan, and instructional expenditure summaries. Two open labs have been scheduled to allow CLAIR users an opportunity to explore and navigate the new CLAIR web application:

• Friday, Sept. 25, 10:00 - 11:00 a.m., Room 50 HHH (West Bank)
• Tuesday., Sept. 29, 9:30 - 10:30 a.m., Room 35 Jones Hall (East Bank)
