Message from the Chancellor: Federal Updates
1.29.25
Dear students, faculty and staff:
UIS leadership has been carefully monitoring the flurry of executive orders announced at the federal level over the past several days, and we have been collaborating with the U of I System and colleagues to best understand how these announcements may affect our university community.
Below are updates on areas of greatest impact to our students, faculty and staff:
Open Forum - Director of the Access & Equity Office and Title IX Coordinator
Colleagues,
Please join us for the Open Forums featuring candidates for the position of Director of the Access & Equity Office and Title IX Coordinator. Instead of a formal presentation, the forums will follow an open Q&A format. I will begin each session by asking the same two questions to each candidate, after which the floor will be open for questions from attendees.
Both Open Forums will be held in Brookens Auditorium:
Change in ITS Client Services Hours
In an effort to improve building security, ITS Client Services (located in the lower level of Brookens Library) will not be available for in-person visits until 9am Monday through Friday. We will still be available for phone/chat/email support and by appointment for in-person visits from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Protection of Minors Reminder
UIS is committed to protecting minors that visit campus so they can enjoy the wonderful events and programs our community offers. For departments that want to offer programs to minors (persons under the age of eighteen (18)), our Protection of Minors page has detailed information on planning and hosting an event for young visitors.
