HR Update

GA Website Information

Please note there are limitations with respect to publishing information on departmental websites regarding GA employees. Recently, we were informed that some departments have websites and/or directories that include items such as the GA’s University email address, a phone number, etc. According to the Board of Regents policy, these items are not “directory information.” They are “limited directory information.” Therefore, such GA information should not be posted for public view. We have followed up with the HR Leads of those specific areas but have not completed a comprehensive audit of all GA websites.  

Please see below for what is directory information in accordance with the policy and remind your campus, college, or unit regarding these requirements.  

"For students appointed as fellows, assistants, graduate, or undergraduate hourly employees, directory information shall also include their title, appointing department or unit, appointment dates, duties, and percent time of the appointment.”

If a department has inadvertently posted private or limited directory information regarding their GAs without the GA’s consent, the department should report the error via the procedures outlined in the security breach policy.
