►Course Cancellations for Spring 2018:  We are hearing that there are possibly more course cancellations in departments for the spring of 2018.  Let us know what is happening in your department, and how many fewer sections and/or faculty you may have, and the effects of these (higher course caps, more teaching CAPs or Navitas). 

Dear Colleagues:

Dear Colleague,

•        Please take this survey on how the UMB Budget Cuts are affecting you here:   https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/UMBcuts.
