Curriculum Tranformation Institutes
The UW and Shoreline Community College will sponsor two curriculum transformation institutes in Seattle this summer. The two institutes, Exploring Difference in Multicultural Classrooms, Aug. 12-16, UW Campus, and Cultural Diversity and Technology: Exploring the Connections, Aug. 17-20, Shoreline Campus, are designed to assist secondary and post-secondary faculty members to incorporate new frameworks for studying cultural diversity into their teaching. Both institutes feature nationally known speakers and hands-on applications of theory to classroom practice. Registration costs $500 per institute. The College of Arts & Sciences and the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Education are funding a limited number of fee waivers for faculty members and students. For more information or an application form, contact Betty Schmitz, Director, Curriculum Transformation Project, College of Arts & Sciences, 685-8276 or visit the Institute Web site at: http://oscar.ctc.edu/shoreline/.

Compensatory Time
Departments are reminded that compensatory time earned by eligible classified staff employees during the 1998-99 fiscal year must be used no later than June 30.

Written requests for exceptions to the June 30 deadline for use of compensatory time should be submitted in advance of June 30 and directed to the appropriate Human Resources Representative. Such requests must identify the work circumstances that preclude the employee’s use of all accrued compensatory time by June 30 and identify a plan to use remaining compensatory time in the near future.

At the employing department’s option, classified staff employees may instead be paid for the equivalent value of unused compensatory time. Professional staff employees may not be paid for unused compensatory time.

Eligibility for compensatory time for classified employees is described in Operations Manual D 45.7 Section 2.b.

Forgot Your Parking Permit?
If you reach campus and discover you do not have your parking permit with you, stop at any gatehouse and present your Husky CardTM to the traffic guide. After checking permit records, a permit will be issued to you for that day. There is no charge for this special service. Please note; this service is not provided to holders of motorcycle or gate-issued permits.

For additional information on a variety of parking topics including the “Tip of the Month,” consult our web site at http://www.washington.edu/admin/parking/.
