Hi Brenda,

Normally it would be the supervisor or department admin who would make the request to IT for updates to the directory.

Active Directory is the back-end technology we use for storing user accounts, passwords, etc. The updated onlinedirectory will be tied directly to Active Directory, so that new employees will automatically be added, and employees whohave left will be automatically removed. The only updates that will need to happen at that point will be things like changesin job title or office location.

Since this system will be tied to your Active Directory login, we will also be offering self-service updates, so once this is inplace, you won't need to submit requests to IT anymore, the employee will be able to update it themselves.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help clarify.

I do realize only IT can actually update the directory but it is the employee or supervisor who makes the request, right? When new employees are hired, is it the supervisor or staff support person for that area who makes a request to IT toadd employees to the directory? Or does IT receive a report from HR of all new employees? As you mentioned above, with the new update, we will no longer need to request an employee be deleted - it will bedone automatically with the Active Directory. What is the Active Directory and how is it different from the onlinedirectory? And just so I'm clear on this, currently we provide requests for:

1. adding new employees 2. updates to current employees 3. removing employees who are no longer at UAA

Once the new update is in place, we will still need to submit requests for 1 and 2 above but not for 3? Please let me know at your earliest convenience so I may share with council members. Thank you!

Brenda – thanks for the email. Following is an update from Brandon Wood, Lead of our Web and Applica�onsteam:

1. Currently, only IT can update the directory. We're working on a number of updates, including a self-service option,that should be ready in the next couple of months. For the time being, directory update requests can be made usingthis form on our website: https://www.uaa.alaska.edu/about/administrative-services/departments/information-technology-services/forms-requests/online-directory-update.cshtml. This also includes requests for deleting usersfrom the directory. If an employee leaves, the department needs to let us know to remove them. With the newupdate, the online directory will be tied to Active Directory, so we will automatically know when someone leaves theUniversity, and they'll no longer show up in the online directory.

2. The ability to print the directory is part of these next batch of changes, so that will also be available within the nextcouple of months (we're likely talking about a September time frame). Communications describing the changes willgo out to all of UAA at that time.

Please let me know if you have any addi�onal ques�ons.

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam -

Staff Council will be meeting next Thursday morning and I would like to provide them with a follow-up and/or status ofour UAA Online Directory. There were two items we addressed:

1. Communication needed to all UAA employees that once they are in the system they need to update theirinformation should they change departments, phone, position, etc.

I was hoping to have clarification on who inputs new employees into the system. Does IT do that? Also, how willthose who leave the University be removed from the Directory?

2. When might we be able to PRINT a UAA Directory?

I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Adam!

WHEREAS, Kathy Lardner originally agreed to coordinate food trucks for the event then later became a main organizer, and

WHEREAS, John Moore originally agreed to coordinate coffee for the event then later became a main organizer, and

WHEREAS, Matthiue Ostrander provided invaluable technological and logistical support to Appreciation Day despite not being a member of the Council, and

WHEREAS, the planning committee volunteered an overwhelming amount of time and energy to organizing an event larger than anyone originally anticipated, and

WHEREAS, Staff Council was able to support a University-wide event that has an important history at the institution because of the individuals named in this resolution;

THEREFORE, be it resolved Staff Council formally recognizes the efforts of Kathy Lardner, John Moore, and Matthiue Ostrander for the outstanding effort they volunteered to make Appreciation Day 2017 a success.

This resolution shall be effective immediately upon passage.

Respectfully Submitted,

Ryan J. Hill Staff Council Co-President

MOTION 2017-03 Staff Council Resolution Regarding Staff and Faculty Regent Positions

RESOLUTION: The Staff Council of the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) approves the following resolution to support the creation of a staff and a faculty position on the University of Alaska Board of Regents. RATIONALE:

WHEREAS, State of Alaska Statute AS 14.40.120, in combination with AS 14.40.130 codifies the composition of the University of Alaska Board of Regents to include a student Regent, but currently does not include any faculty or staff Regents, and

WHEREAS, many states and institutions of higher education across the United States include staff and faculty members as Regents or Trustees, and WHEREAS, Staff Alliance unanimously approved a resolution in support of the creation of faculty and staff positions on the Board of Regents in April of 2016, and WHEREAS, a 2012 study1 by the Cornell Higher Education Research Institute concluded that having university employees as Regents or Trustees improved employee relations at those institutions, and WHEREAS, staff and faculty have a unique and vital experience working at institutions of higher education in Alaska that would be invaluable to the decisions being made by the Board of Regents, WHEREAS, staff and faculty governance groups play an integral role in the administration of the University of Alaska but have been excluded from the ability to vote on matters that come before the Board of Regents and directly impact the work they are doing, and WHEREAS, staff and faculty participation on the Board of Regents would help to demystify the operations and procedures of the Board, and increase trust in the work the Board is doing; THEREFORE, be it resolved Staff Council supports the legislation necessary to amend the State of Alaska Statute to designate at least one staff member and one faculty member voting seat on the University of Alaska Board of Regents. This resolution shall be effective immediately upon passage.

Staff Alliance input is summarized as: ● U Unclear regarding some significant details or implications. Would require

substantial and/or particular revisions/clarifications to attain staff support. ● P Potential for success. Some responses indicated enthusiasm for pursuing these

options for change. ● D Dubious. Very clear potential for negative and problematic results. Of all

individual and group feedback discussions, there was no clear support for this option.
