Public comments on proposed UCCE positions accepted until July 11
ANR's 2016 Call for CE Positions has entered the program area/unit review phase, May 5 – Aug. 1, 2016. During this time, the program teams, the ANR-affiliated colleges and professional school, and the regional groups of county/multi-county directors and Research and Extension Center directors will conduct reviews. For the proposals under their purview, the reviewers will 1) rate (high, medium or “this can wait”); 2) prioritize their highly rated positions (up to five) and 3) provide concise rationale.
The public comment period remains open until July 11, 2016.
Submitted CE position proposals can be viewed on the call web page http://ucanr.edu/2016callforpositions. To see the position description, click the proposal title link. In addition, the full call, including the updated position proposal template as well as the process flowchart timeline and criteria documents are posted as well.
Filling critical academic positions remains a top priority for ANR. Over the past several years, more than 90 CE advisors and CE specialists have been hired, and there are 45 more recruitments approved. New 2016 position proposals should identify additional crucial positions.
Comments:
Thank you for your note of support in Riverside. Please visit http://ucanr.edu/2016callforpositions, click on the three positions that you favor and express your support so the comments are directly associated with those specific positions.
The Riverside County Farm Bureau supports the funding and filling of the three CE positions available. These academic positions are critical not only to our county's agriculture community but also to the economy of Riverside County.
Therefore, we encourage your to fund and fill these positions in the budgets; both current and future budgets.
Thank you.
