All the News that's Fit to Print! The Office for Diversity and African American Affairs Summer 2008 Newsletter is now available.
Automatic Tenure Clock Extension for faculty with a new child in the family or who take extended family medical leave has been approved. The full detail is contained in the revised tenure clock regulation.
Any tenure-track assistant professor who has a new child in the family may request an automatic extension of the tenure clock. This applies to birth, adoption, or placement of a foster child, to both women and men. Also, if a faculty member takes Family Medical Leave of two months or longer, the tenure clock will be automatically extended.
In the case of a tenure clock extension, the faculty member will have the option to be reviewed in either the extended mandatory year or the year prior. Both years will be considered normal review years; i.e., not “early”.
Office for Diversity and African American Affairs to become Office for Diversity and Inclusion
Effective July 1, 2008, the Office for Diversity and African American Affairs (ODAAA) will become The Office for Diversity and Inclusion (ODI). The new name for the office more accurately reflects how diversity efforts at NC State and across higher education have evolved to embrace a broader and more inclusive definition of diversity. The new name also acknowledges that in addition to promoting all forms of diversity, the office is equally involved in encouraging the effective integration of diversity across all university operations and functions. The inclusion of diversity in the curriculum, administrative practices and all co-curricular activities promotes a more comprehensive and integrated approach to diversity at NC State. This emphasis on inclusion is codified and fully articulated in the university updated strategic plan for diversity titled, Inclusive Excellence. The Office for Diversity and Inclusion will continue to advocate for, assist, encourage, and assess the success of African Americans at NC State, in addition to the success of all the other diverse groups that make up our global campus community.
