Staff
survey indicates individual UNT groups place high priority on students,
diversity
A
report based on the results of the 2002 UNT Staff Survey is now available
online for the UNT community to read at www.unt.edu/planning.
According to Allen Clark, senior institutional research analyst in university
planning, 90 percent of survey participants perceive that their departments
place a high priority on students and 89.6 percent of survey participants
perceive that their departments are supportive of efforts to recruit
and retain ethnic minority employees.
Cooler
temperatures mean winter is here. Unfortunately, winter brings the threat
of hazardous driving conditions due to snow and ice.
When weather conditions pose a significant threat to the safety of students,
faculty and staff members who commute to campus, UNT's offices will
close. UNT classes will be canceled not only at the Denton campus, but
also at all locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth region where UNT classes
are offered, including the Universities Center at Dallas. When the Denton
campus closes, so does the UNT Dallas Campus (also known as the UNT
System Center).

meet faculty needs? Do you think there should be a teaching route
