New chief diversity faculty fellow position

In late July, UAF announced that the Department of Equity and Compliance and the Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities would join under one umbrella as the new Office of Rights, Compliance and Accountability. With the reorganization and recruitment of a new ORCA executive director, the responsibility of the chief diversity officer was removed from the director role and re-established in FY24 as a faculty fellow position. This position will work closely with the newly established ORCA office, along with stakeholders across the university. Read more details and how to apply.

UAF is requiring that all individuals interested in submitting an appropriations request to the Congressional delegation complete the Google request form. If you submit more than one request, please clearly rank your requests. Read more about how to apply.
