• Loss due to non-hire = loss of new grant monies
  • How would this grant money support the department and or the University
• Discuss the shortage in staff if applicable and how it is detrimental:
  • To the department
  • To students
• Are there other faculty that would be able to teach the courses

The impact that it will have on student:

• Class is not offered every semester
• Class is necessary to graduate students
• Will students not be able to graduate on time if course is not offered; how many will not be able to graduate on time?
• How many students are enrolled in the course?
• Are their any other courses that can be taken in lieu of the course?

The impact that it will have on research and experiments:

• Decreased amount of quality published works
• Inability to obtain extramural funding
  • Labs cannot be run
  • Decreased focus on students in teaching

The impact of non-hire or extension of Casual and Student Hires:

• Are there any other employees (BU 03 & 08) already employed who could not do the work and sustain operational needs?
• How many current students you many have and how many you need to function.

Notes:

Do’s: Attach spreadsheet of statistical data showing the impact of issues listed above if applicable.

Don’ts: Try not to use acronyms; OVCAA are not faculty hires so they are not familiar with terminology.
