What is color contrast?

According to WebAIM, “contrast is a measure of the difference in perceived ‘luminance’ or brightness between two colors.” Contrast is expressed as a ratio with a range of 1:1 (both colors are the same; for example, white text on a white background) to 21:1 (for example, black text on a white background).

Civil Service staff members are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest in compliance with Policy and Rule 16.01.

The annual ethics training window will begin soon. Please watch for an email on October 1st with the training link and instructions coming from the Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer (ethicsofficer@uis.edu).

From Provost Schwab

Welcome to the Fall Semester! It is great to have more life on campus after a busy (and short) summer. I want to thank everyone who attended the Faculty & Staff Kickoff and a wonderful New Student Convocation and Party on the Quad. I commend our Student Affairs colleagues for the great events that will hopefully become a terrific UIS tradition that grows over time.

On April 24, 2024, the Department of Justice published a final rule updating the regulations for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This rule emphasizes the need for web content and mobile applications provided by state and local governments, including public higher education institutions, to be accessible to people with disabilities. 

UIS faculty and staff are invited to honor this year's recipient of the prestigious University Scholars Award on Monday, September 30, in the Student Union Ballroom.

Good Idea Fund

Do you have a Good Idea that could help make a positive difference for UIS? We are pleased to announce the availability again this year of one-time (non-recurring) funds to support implementation of good ideas from UIS staff and faculty. A wide range of ideas will be considered with the goal to fund projects with broad impact to the University.
