Open aolney opened 1 year ago

Seems ideal for @awindsor to update here

I think the major issues are

Overall I think we need to know if net numbers have increased, not who is moving in/out of slots (so ignore backfilling Gavin and putting Leah in Carl's line (if that's what happened)

This also seems like something that should have a webpage, and a link in handbook to webpage, and if there is a longer history document, that can be made available. I don't want to overthink it, but I for one find that a well drafted history can be helpful in explaining 'who we are'. Maybe Art G should help with this - he was present at the big bang!

For history up to Alistair, I have a pretty comprehensive version that was part of the strategic planning process. Both Art and Stan have seen that and vetted it. Where I'm no longer certain is after Alistair became director, especially with respect to any deals made with the University.

Having history on the website is a good idea, but I suspect the level of detail needed there might be a little different that for the handbook. And the strategic planning document had even more history than the handbook (like who was hired when, etc).

We hired John Sabatini using the IIS portion of Art’s position. Leah began in a baseline funded position in the IIS beginning 9/1/2016. Carl vacated his line in 12/31/2019. I officially “surrendered” Carl’s vacant position during the pandemic. I subsequently requested three hires and received two. My argument was that two positions this left us unchanged:

  1. One to fill Carl’s position
  2. One to fill Gavin’s position. The position we got for Art’s retirement is currently being occupied by John Sabatini.

I do not know the source of Leah’s position since that was during Andrew’s tenure. Since I took over we have gained one position (technically – coming from Art’s retirement). Xiangen leaving doesn’t technically change our count since both he and Art were hired in Psychology. Yours, Alistair
