Gslisadjuncts GSLIS Adjuncts Town Hall
by James Lowry 14 Sep '23

14 Sep '23

Hi all, Last semester we held an adjuncts town hall, and I’d like to start doing this each semester. It’s an opportunity to get an update on what is happening at GSLIS, and to ask questions or share concerns. The Spring town hall will be held: Thursday February 2nd 7pm, Zoom Register at: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__us02web.zoom.us_meetin… The meeting will begin with a briefing on developments in the department, particularly around ALA accreditation and the ongoing curriculum reform work. The newly constituted Research and Pedagogy Committee will be offering development opportunities for adjuncts this semester; last semester’s rescheduled workshop on accessibility technology, and a workshop on developing student learning outcomes and implementing the new GSLIS syllabus template. Details will be circulated via this mailing list. We are also aware of the need for an onboarding process for our new adjuncts, and a source of guidance on various matters related to teaching in GSLIS. As a first step in that direction, we want to crowdsource an Adjuncts Handbook. I’d be grateful if you could share your thoughts on what should be covered by the handbook, by commenting here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_docume… Thanks for all you do for CUNY and our library students! With best wishes for an enriching Spring semester, James Dr. James Lowry (he/him) Associate Professor Chair and Director, Information Studies, Queens College<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__sites.google.com_view_… > City University of New York<https://www.cuny.edu/> Series Editor, Routledge Studies in Archives<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.routledge.com_Rout… > @JamesLowryATL

Please note that many holidays in this time frame include fasting or other religious practices associated with dietary traditions, including a sunrise to sunset fast as part of the holy month of Ramadan. In addition, please note that while several religious holidays and observances coincide with CUNY's spring break week, others do not. We greatly appreciate your care and concern. As a reminder, CUNY's policy on religious accommodation allows students to request and be granted academic and attendance accommodations based on religious belief. A link to the policy is posted here: VI. Religious Accommodations – The City University of New York (cuny.edu)<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… > VI. Religious Accommodations A. Requests for Accommodations 1. Students requesting a religious accommodation should contact the Office for Student Affairs at the College or unit in which they are enrolled. The Chief Student Affairs Officer, or a designee, and the student will engage in an interactive process with the goal of finding an acceptable accommodation. 2. Consistent with New York State Education Law § 224-a, students who are absent from school because of a religious belief will be given the equivalent opportunity, without any additional fee charged, to register for classes or make up any examination, study or work requirements missed because of such absence on any particular day or days. As a frame of reference for anticipating student requests for religious accommodations, CUNY's Interfaith Council has developed the following "Religious & Ethnic Holidays Calendar," which serves as a helpful resource (https://www.cuny.edu/current-students/student-affairs/religious-ethnic-holi…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >).<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… > This collaborative effort of faith leaders associated with our University gives us a good base of information to expand our knowledge of important observances and confirm student requests for accommodations. Please be mindful that some holidays' observances may impact activity on days immediately before or following the official date. While not necessarily an exhaustive list, the chart below highlights the days of religious observance at the end of March and the month of April. For questions about CUNY's policy on religious accommodations or to add additional observances, don't hesitate to get in touch with Sophia McGee, Director of Intercultural Student Engagement and Dialogue, at sophia.mcgee(a)cuny.edu<mailto:sophia.mcgee@cuny.edu>.

From: Emanuel Avila/Academic Integrity Officer/Queens College <sima(a)queenscollegecuny.ccsend.com> on behalf of Emanuel Avila/Academic Integrity Officer/Queens College <qcmailer(a)qc.cuny.edu> Date: Wednesday, March 29, 2023 at 3:10 PM To: James Lowry <jlowry(a)qc.cuny.edu> Subject: Academic Integrity, Student Conduct, and Distance Learning [https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__r20.rs6.net_on.jsp-3Fc… ] [https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__files.constantcontact.… ] >From Emanuel Avila, Academic Integrity Officer: The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs would like to remind all faculty and staff about student expectations. All registered students are expected to follow all QC and CUNY rules and regulations, in particular the Code of Conduct<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >, Academic Integrity Policy<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >, Sexual Misconduct Policy<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >, and CUNY’s Policy on Acceptable Use of Computer Resources<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >. Any student found to be in violation of these policies will face disciplinary action. If a faculty member suspects that a student has violated the Academic Integrity Policy<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >, they can report the violation using the Academic Integrity Violation Form<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >. Due to the implementation of a new software program that will allow for better reporting of academic integrity-related matters, the Office of Student Conduct is requiring that new reports be submitted using the fillable pdf form and emailed to studentconduct(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:studentconduct@qc.cuny.edu>. Complaints about student conduct that do not fall under the Academic Integrity Policy may be reported to the Office of Public Safety at 718-997-5912 and the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs at VPSA(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:VPSA@qc.cuny.edu>. Once a complaint has been received, the student judicial officer will review, investigate, and adjudicate the matter if a violation has been determined and committed. Reports about students exhibiting disturbing behavior or who seem to be in distress can be addressed to the Queens College Behavioral Intervention Team at BIT(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:BIT@qc.cuny.edu>. We understand that there may be some challenges faced during this time when some classrooms are virtual. To assist faculty, we have provided some recommendations to address issues of academic dishonesty and prevent disruptions in a virtual setting: · Faculty should consider posting all related policies on their syllabus and Blackboard, especially the Academic Integrity Policy. · Faculty are encouraged to follow CUNY’s guidelines related to the use of Zoom for their courses: CUNY Zoom Security Protocol<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >. · Students should be made aware that certain websites, such as Chegg.com, may not be used for class assignments unless authorized by the professor. Students who use Chegg.com or similar websites may be able to obtain an unfair advantage over other classmates. Gaining an unfair advantage is a policy violation. This also includes the use of Artificial Intelligence software such as ChatGPT. · Under the Academic Integrity Policy, professors are required to “review with the student the facts and circumstances of the suspected violation” when they suspect a violation has occurred. Speaking to a student can assist in resolving a possible violation, and both professors and students may be able to come up with a resolution that addresses the infraction without the need for formal disciplinary action. · Faculty should continue to use plagiarism detection software such as SafeAssign and Turnitin. · The QC Learning Commons<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… > can be a great help for students who need assistance with assignments. · As during in-person instruction, students are expected to use proper language, wear appropriate attire, and be mindful of backgrounds that may or may not be distracting to others when using virtual tools such as Skype, Zoom, and others. If there are any questions or if additional assistance is needed, please email the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management at VPSA(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:VPSA@qc.cuny.edu>.
