Dear colleagues: In consultation with university leadership, including university chancellors and vice presidents, I am pleased to announce the authorization of a 3.5% merit-based salary program for faculty, academic professional and civil service staff across the University of Illinois System, effective Aug. 16, 2022.

This program remains a top priority in our budget planning to enable much-deserved recognition for employees. To help offset current economic challenges our nation is facing, this year's program is larger than last year's.

WHAT: The University of Illinois Springfield Center for Lincoln Studies invites the public to attend a Juneteenth Lecture Series discussion on “Cause & Effect: Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation” with professors Edna Greene Medford and Holly Pinheiro. This event is a collaborative program hosted by UIS, the Illinois State Museum and Juneteenth, Inc.

WHEN: 1-3:30 p.m. Friday, June 17, 2022

WHERE: Illinois State Museum, 502 S. Spring St., Springfield

The Office of Web Services, in collaboration with a cross-sectional committee of university partners, has created a new, more streamlined approach to creating and maintaining university and unit-level policies online.

A new UIS Policies website, uis.edu/policies, is intended to be a one-stop shop for university policies. The site is searchable by policy type, audience or key words.
