CU Boulder seeks nominations for arts and sciences dean position
CU Boulder seeks nominations for a dynamic academician and experienced administrator to serve as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S). In this leadership role of the university’s largest college, the dean is the primary advocate for the college’s broad liberal arts mission and the chief administrator of the three newly formed divisions within A&S. The position reports to the provost and executive vice chancellor for academic affairs.
The dean of the College of Arts and Sciences position in a newly configured college assumes a critical role in shaping the academic and administrative landscape of the campus, sustaining and increasing our reputation as a national research university, and in meeting our strategic imperatives.
“We are seeking an inspired leader with a deep commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion who can support and coordinate resources among three strong and autonomous divisional deans in CU Boulder’s largest college,” said Provost Russell Moore. “Our ideal candidate will have strong diplomatic and interpersonal communications skills, in addition to having strong management and logistical support skills.”
On July 28, the university announced members of the search committee, chaired by Sharon Matusik, dean of the Leeds School of Business and professor of strategy and entrepreneurship.

Administrative citations replace low-level CUPD tickets
Students who used to receive University of Colorado Police Department (CUPD) tickets for lower-level offenses or first-time infractions may now receive administrative citations which make it easier for students to make amends, save them a trip to court and save them money.
CUPD officers and residential service officials (RSOs) began the administrative citations program in May. Infractions eligible to receive the new administrative citation include minor in possession of drugs or alcohol, fake identification, unlawful conduct on public property, consumption of alcohol in public and other nonviolent or first-time offenses. Some minor traffic offenses are included as well.
After receiving non-traffic administrative citations, students will be referred to the CU Boulder Office of Student Conduct & Conflict Resolution (SCCR) for completion of a student conduct process, including possible participation in restorative justice programs or substance abuse programs. Administrative citations carry half the fine of a criminal citation.

Instructors: Submit spring book, course material information today
Instructors have received ongoing email communications requesting book and course materials information for spring 2022 courses. As a reminder, campus policy states that departments are required to identify what books and other course materials are required (or if a course will have no required materials) for their classes by the day of registration.
Course material information is critical to provide financial transparency to our students during course registration and to help them plan ahead. It is also needed in order for the university to maintain Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEA) and Americans with Disability Act (ADA) compliance (Disability Services needs sufficient lead time to gain access to and prepare books and materials in suitable alternative formats for students who need them).
Instructors who are not requiring specific books or course materials for a course (and departments with unassigned courses that won’t have required materials) or courses that will utilize Open Education Resources (OER), still need to notify the CU Book Store of that fact as soon as possible.
The book store has designated a staff member to facilitate any faculty needs around this. His name is Ryan Windle, and his contact information is:
ryan.windle@colorado.edu
303-492-3421
Thank you for your prompt attention to this faculty responsibility.
