A new campus policy on working titles designed to apply to long-serving administrators with outstanding performance became effective Jan. 13.<\/p>\n
Campus policy 300-018 puts into place procedures for vice chancellors or associate vice chancellors to receive changes in their working titles in recognition of meritorious service over a period of years. Working titles differ from official titles and are intended to better describe day-to-day duties, according to Cindy Corwin, director, Department of Human Resources.<\/p>\n
The title changes do not include additional wages and are temporary, meaning that once the current office holder leaves his or her job, the working title will be eliminated.<\/p>\n
In announcing the new policy and its application to three UCCS administrators, Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak emphasized that no new administrative positions were added, that no salaries were increased, that policy 300-018 received the endorsement of faculty and staff governance groups and academic deans, and that the title changes align UCCS positions with those at other CU campuses. Provost-select Mary Coussons-Read was also consulted.<\/p>\n
Andrea Hutchins, associate professor, Beth-El College of Nursing and Health Sciences, and Faculty Assembly president, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Faculty Assembly Executive Committee is pleased that this policy will allow these individuals to be recognized for all of the work they accomplish for UCCS and supports its implementation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Those receiving new working titles effective March 1 are:<\/p>\n
David Moon<\/b>, currently interim executive vice chancellor of academic affairs and provost, will become vice provost and associate vice chancellor. He will report to Provost Mary Coussons-Read. Moon previously held senior associate vice chancellor and associate vice chancellor positions dating to 2000.<\/p>\n
Brian Burnett,<\/b> currently vice chancellor for administration and finance, will become senior executive vice chancellor for administration and finance. He will report to Shockley-Zalabak. Burnett has held the vice chancellor position since July 2003.<\/p>\n
Susan Szpyrka,<\/b> currently senior associate vice chancellor, will become vice chancellor for administration and finance reporting to Burnett. Szpyrka was named associate vice chancellor in 2006.<\/p>\n
