Colleagues,

To meet federal requirements and University of Washington expectations, the College has updated its policies related to the Faculty Effort Certification process earlier announced on April 27, 2006. A newly updated and consolidated statement covers CFR policies for compensating our faculty who are not tenured or tenure-track when they engage in teaching, proposal writing, service, or organizational administration activities. The policy is futher documented and summarized in a companion document.

All policies are effective immediately. Thanks very much and best wishes.

B. Bruce Bare, Dean
