Now available online is the report on The Status of Women Faculty in the Humanities and Social Sciences at Princeton which parallels the report on The Status of Women Faculty in the Natural Sciences and Engineering that was issued in September 2003. The order of the topics and the time periods covered are identical in the two reports, in order to make it easer to think about the two reports in tandem. This new report describes the situation of tenure-track women faculty in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

Questions about the report or its appendices may be directed to Joan Girgus in the Office of the Dean of the Faculty.

As part of our continuing efforts to ensure that Princeton is a family friendly institution, the rules regarding what is allowable for extensions of term for assistant professors due to childbirth and/or adoption have been revised. This revision was approved by the Faculty Advisory Committee on Policy as well as by the members of the faculty at the Faculty Meeting held on May 16, 2005.

The revision (1) makes automatic the granting of extensions for reasons of childbirth and/or adoption upon notification of the Dean of the Faculty; (2) sets no limit on the number of extensions that are granted other than the extensions are automatically granted on the basis of one per child; and (3) specifies that these extensions may be added to either term.  For more detail and to review the change made in the Rules & Procedures of the Faculty, please link to Chapter IV.C, and scroll down to paragraph #6.

On November 1, 2004, the Treasurer's Office published  the University Guidelines for Non-Compensation Expenditures.

As you know, this year the University has adopted this revised expenditure policy, putting in one place University guidelines concerning expenditures.  It is important that our faculty and staff members know and understand what expenditures are legitimate University expenditures.  We ask that they take the time to read and review these policies.

We are delighted to announce the creation of a Dependent Child Care Fund to cover costs of dependent child care for full, associate, and assistant professors who are attending learned society meetings, other conferences, workshops and professional development opportunities. This fund has been created through a special allocation of Dean of the Faculty support so that faculty members with children can more easily attend professional meetings. Since this is a new program, we will evaluate the use of the fund after three years to see what changes, if any, should be made.

Specific information about eligibility and how to submit a request is available in the letter recently sent to the faculty in October or at the following link: Dependent Child Care Fund.  Any questions may be addressed to Associate Dean Sandra Johnson, sandyj@princeton.edu, extension 8-5230.

We are pleased to announce the new online Faculty Face Book.  On this site you will be able to display and view pictures of Princeton University’s current academic officers and faculty members, plus directly link to their contact information in the online Campus Directory.

This site, developed by our office with the assistance of staff from OIT's Desktop Application Services and Administrative Information Services, was put together in response to the numerous requests by our faculty, staff, and students to bring back the old Faculty Face Books that were last published in the mid-1970's.  We hope that the university community will find this modern version of the Faculty Face Book a convenient and useful alternative.

It is a secured site and access will be restricted to only current faculty, staff and students who will be able to log in using their Princeton netids and passwords. If you encounter any difficulty accessing the site, please contact the OIT Help Desk at helpdesk@princeton.edu or by phone at 8-4357.
