SCC OUTLINES PERSONNEL IMPACTS FROM BUDGET CUTS
While no one would characterize the personnel impacts of state-mandated budget reductions at Shoreline Community College as anything but painful with more than 20 positions eliminated, making those cuts ultimately involved only two actual layoffs.

“We worked very hard to find options for people,” said SCC President Lee Lambert, adding that contract-based bumping and position reversion rights, combined with employees’ choices, made for a sometimes-convoluted process. “Sometimes that process took more time, but we wanted to make sure everyone had every chance. I want to thank (Vice President for Human Resources and Legal Affairs) Stephen Smith taking the lead on working through these difficult times.”

Lambert acknowledged that even with those efforts, the college and many good people were affected.  “OK, two layoffs, but we still lost good, valuable people through retirements, tenure buyouts and people deciding to leave,” he said. “Those people represent a lot of experience and knowledge.”  Read more at On Campus blog.

BEWARE OF HOT, DRY WEATHER

Please be aware of the dangers of dry weather and high temperatures, such as bushfires, which actually took place on campus yesterday between the Parent-Child Center and the Automotive Center.  Although it may seem harmless, a very small bush fire can quickly turn into a real problem if a wind presents itself and distributes the embers to other dangerously dry locations.  Dry leaves and branches can also escalate the fire as can the slope of the land. Be sure to extinguish all combustibles in approved containers.  Again, please take extra care during these dry, hot spells. Thank you.

FLAG AT HALF-STAFF IN MEMORY OF U.S. ARMY FIRST LT. BRIAN BRADSHAW
Governor Chris Gregoire has directed that flags at all Washington State agency facilities be lowered to half-staff Wednesday, July 1, 2009, in memory of U. S. Army First Lieutenant Brian N. Bradshaw, 24, of Steilacoom, who died on June 25, in Kheyl, Afghanistan, from injuries sustained from the detonation of an improvised explosive device. The flag will remain at half-staff until close of business today or first thing Thursday morning.

************** REMINDERS **************
