From Cliff Contreras, director, Transportation and Parking Services

Dear Campus Community,

Effective Wednesday, Sept. 25, the new West Gate Information Kiosk will open for operation and will be staffed Monday-Friday, 7a.m.-5 p.m., with the exception of university holidays. The current gate on Hutchison Drive near the Silo will be removed, resulting in an expansion of the protected core of campus for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Motorists may drive up to the new West Gate Information Kiosk and ask the attendant for core access (via a 30-minute loading permit), if they do not already have a center core permit-gate access card. Vehicle access will be provided only for conducting university business, such as short term (up to 30 minutes) for loading-unloading purposes. 

Access will not be provided for general or convenient parking, dropping by the Silo for lunch, or as a shortcut across campus, so please plan accordingly.

Outside of regular operating hours, the gate arm will remain closed and access will be restricted to those with active gate cards, gate codes or tokens. 

Parking in the core campus is restricted, and most spaces will be marked for specific vehicles and-or limited to one hour. It will also be necessary to have a core campus permit displayed when accessing the core area, which will now include lots , and . People who currently park in these lots will need to locate alternative parking areas outside of the center core, such as lots or , or the .

Departments requiring frequent access to the core campus outside of regular operating hours may contact Michelle McArdle, TAPS operations manager, mamcardle@ucdavis.edu, to provide written justification and request for access. Any associated costs and parking options will be provided upon review of the request. 

People with severe disabilities that impede their ability to walk-travel from Lot 41 to their destination are advised to contact Campus Recreation, (530) 752-1730, for information regarding the , a service provided to disabled staff, faculty and students. For additional options, contact , (530) 752-6008.

Sept. 16, 2013: New �������ϲ����Ͽ� policy on reporting suspected child abuse
From Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Ralph J. Hexter

Dear Colleagues,

As the beginning of the new academic year approaches, I write to make you aware of an important new University of California policy that requires a broader group of �������ϲ����Ͽ� employees to report suspected child abuse and neglect. This policy is based on the California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act, which became effective earlier this year. Under the new law, all coaches and all university employees who have regular contact with individuals under the age of 18 as part of their job duties are considered "mandated reporters." Many university employees were considered mandated reporters under the former law. This includes employees who work in health care and law enforcement positions. If you were a mandated reporter under the prior law, you are still considered a mandated reporter. Additionally, California law has long required all of us, regardless of our university affiliation, to notify law enforcement if we observe the murder or rape of, or the performance of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14.

Mandated reporters are legally obligated to report suspected child abuse to law enforcement immediately and, under the new �������ϲ����Ͽ� policy, they are also required to report suspected child abuse to the university's whistleblower hot line: (800) 403-4744 or . More information about the new law and policy is available .

If you believe you may be a mandated reporter and you have not signed a mandated reporter acknowledgement form, please contact your supervisor about this as soon as possible. If you have questions about the new policy, you may contact Wendi Delmendo, chief compliance officer, (530) 752-9466 or wjdelmendo@ucdavis.edu, or Steve Green, manager of Employee and Labor Relations, (530) 754-8935 or elrmanager@ucdavis.edu.

It is critical that we take all necessary steps to protect minors who visit our campus and participate in our programs. Even if you are not considered a mandated reporter under the law, I ask that you report suspected child abuse to law enforcement and that you notify your supervisor or the university hot line when you observe suspected child abuse on university property or in connection with university programs.

Thank you,

Ralph Hexter

July 31, 2013: Annual systemwide payroll disclosure
From the Office of Public Records, �������ϲ����Ͽ� Office of the President

Dear colleague:
 
As part of the university’s obligation to be transparent and publicly accountable for its conduct, including the way it compensates its faculty and staff, �������ϲ����Ͽ� is conducting its annual disclosure of systemwide employee compensation for calendar year 2012. This disclosure parallels last year’s payroll disclosure and is consistent with similar practices at many other public institutions.
 
The 2012 payroll data, along with a summary analysis, is available and will be available to news media upon request.
 
Because �������ϲ����Ͽ� is a public institution, employee compensation is considered a public record under the California Public Records Act and is reflected in Personnel Policies for Staff Members, , which reads, in part:

“Information which is public information and which should be released upon request includes name, date of hire, current position title, current salary, organizational unit assignment, date of separation, office address and office telephone number, current job description, full-time or part-time, and appointment type.”
 
The Academic Personnel Manual, , states that any “nonpersonal” information “is public information and is available upon request to any person or entity without limitation.” It defines “nonpersonal” academic personnel information as including name, date of hire or separation, current position title and current rate of pay.
 
Questions about access to the payroll data may be directed to local Information Practices/Public Records offices. The primary contact at �������ϲ����Ͽ� Davis is Lynette Temple, information practices coordinator, Office of Campus Counsel, reachable by telephone (530) 752-3949 or .
