Many of the items discussed in that report were things you might expect, such as the rising cost of health insurance. However, the report also contained a listing of some miscellaneous items that came up, some of which you might not expect:
- the continuing effects of the still relatively new graduate student contract,
- ongoing reviews of the performance of the Retirement Administration Service Center (RASC),
- the implementation of new legislative mandates around the disclosure of substantiated findings of misconduct during hiring,
- the implementation of new legislative requirements for letters of recommendation,
- new onerous requirements for faculty recalled shortly after retiring,
- the effects of budget cuts on faculty morale, workloads, and working conditions,
- the implementation of Trelix and systemwide policies on cybersecurity,
- rising hate speech against faculty in student evaluations,
- problems related to affordable childcare and housing access.
Today's miscellaneous issues may become tomorrow's major issues.
