News

Dear SHARE Region,

Over the last few weeks due to COVID-19 events, there have been numerous communications about new federal legislation, UC policies, and state and local orders that have been enacted which impacts how UC Berkeley employees are able to perform their job duties and receive pay.  Until we learn more, I wanted to help offer some guidance around these recent communications: 

Dear Colleagues in the BEARS region,

I am writing today with a summary of recent communications from both UCOP and Berkeley campus leadership, along with key messages and action items that you might find helpful.

Dear Campus Colleagues, 

The next semester is already on the horizon and I want to beginsharing details about the upcoming Summer/Fall 2020 ASE/GSR Hiring processes.  Certainly given the campus’ current shelter-in-place directive and remote instruction has added additional complexities.  Our SHAREHR team(s) are working diligently to finalize processes and our goal is to ask for your partnership in identifying these new hires as early as possible. 

Since the beginning of the year, and especially over the past several weeks, the campus has seen numerous emails and resources regarding guidance from public health authorities in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and how that translates to us at Berkeley with social distancing, impacts to class delivery, workforce impacts, etc. Protecting the health and safety of members of the campus community remains the top priority and the campus is committed to preserving the academic mission.

Dear SHARE:

We have been hard at work putting together a resource for new (and frankly possibly existing) faculty. The purpose of this handbook is to provide an overview of the resources (people, technology, and services) that new faculty will most likely need as they acclimate to campus. This is primarily designed for departments, but ORUs may find this a useful resource as well. 

Dear SHARE Region,
