The UPEISU will be closed tomorrow, April 25, from 11:30 am-1:30 pm. Sorry for any inconvenience.
As a result of the 2013-14 submitted budget, Research
Services anticipates that the 69传媒internal research funding program will
be placed on hiatus for the 2013-14 fiscal year. Until further notice,
applications to the following research grants committee programs will not
be accepted:
路 Bridge Funding Grant
路 Collaborative Research Grant
路 Discretionary Grant
路 Major Research Grant
路 New Scholars Grant
路 Travel Grant
The following programs are outside the scope of Research Services'
budget and will continue to be offered:
路 Self-funded/Sabbatical Program
路 Sessional Instructor Grant Fund
路 SSHRC Institutional Grant (however, intake deadlines may be
altered depending on level of SSHRC funding for 2013-14)
We recognize the value and importance of the internal funding program and
anticipate that it will be reinstated in some capacity by 2014. In the
interim, the suite of programs offered by the research grants committee
will be reviewed by the committee and the VP Research, with a focus toward
determining the most appropriate mechanisms for distributing funding in
order to meet both the committee鈥檚 mandate and the needs of the campus
community.
A further notice will be circulated after the budget decision on May 9.

The recent events surrounding the proposed changes to the University of
Prince Edward Island鈥檚 Faculty of Arts have raised serious concerns both on
and off campus. An email from Interim Dean of Arts, Nebojsa Kujundzic, was
sent to his faculty proposing a plan of amalgamating the existing fifteen
departments into four 鈥渃lusters鈥�. Unfortunately, this sparked concern and
left more questions than answers.
As the Student Union, we feel the need to remind all parties that each and
every decision made on this campus affects our students. The challenge of
balancing the budget has been a topic of conversation since the 3% cut to
the operating grant from the province last year. From our perspective both
as student representatives, and students ourselves, we know there has been
ample opportunity in the past year for both preliminary discussion and
consultation surrounding the future of the Faculty of Arts.
Fragmented messaging from senior administration at UPEI, coupled with the
response from faculty in the form of a very public call to action without
all the necessary information, has created confusion and propagated
misinformation among students. A discussion about the future of the Faculty
of Arts could have been a very positive and healthy collaboration between
students, faculty, and senior administration; however, our present
circumstances do not reflect such a reality.
We ask that all employees of the university, whether they be faculty
members, support staff, or senior administration, remind themselves that
every decision, every action, and every choice being made should contribute
positively to the students of 69传媒and the institution itself. We feel that
there is still an opportunity to foster healthy, positive, and open debate
about necessary and beneficial changes made to the Faculty of Arts and look
forward to actively participating in these conversations.

Further to last year's Employee Engagement Survey and subsequent discussion
by the Healthy Campus Committee, the Healthy Campus Committee has
recommended that sessions be offered on Creating and Maintaining a
Respectful Workplace at UPEI. While the survey results were encouraging for
the University, this was identified as an area where some training would be
useful to further support efforts of the Committee to encourage a positive
and engaging workplace environment. This is especially important in
uncertain and challenging times when emotions can be more fragile.
As such, Jan Link, former Fair Treatment advisor with 69传媒will be
facilitating several sessions over the coming months. These sessions will
be divided into two streams, given the separate responsibilities that exist
for managers/supervisors and employees.
For more details on the sessions for all staff and faculty, please visit
the Notices section at
Thank you and we look forward to great sessions and the chance to spend
some time learning together.
