Employee Tuition Waiver Policy – The university has issued a new policy regarding the employee tuition waiver program. The intent of this new policy is to clarify the procedures to be applied when an employee or their spouse is taking a course under this waiver program. Should you have any questions, please contact Scott Smart at extension 2600 or scott.smart@enmu.edu.

As a benefit of employment, ENMU will pay the tuition for one course per semester (fall, spring, eight-week summer session) for full-time employees and retirees. The maximum tuition waiver for this course is not to exceed 4 credit hours. If a lab is connected to a lecture, this combination will be considered to be one course. No other combinations are permissible. Tuition will also be waived for employees enrolling in the university wellness program for 1 to 2 credits.

University employees are allowed to take one course during the regular work day. Approval from their immediate supervisor is required to insure that appropriate office coverage is maintained. Hours missed while the employee is taking a course during the normal workday must be made up. Vacation and comp time cannot be used to make up these hours.

If a course is offered during the employee's normal workday as well as outside of the employee's normal workday, the employee must take the course outside of their normal workday.

Requests for exceptions to the "one course during the normal workday" rule must submitted through the area supervisor and approved by the President. Per New Mexico state law, employees are allowed to enroll in up to 11 undergraduate credits or 8 graduate credits in any semester. For purposes of this policy, "summer semester" is defined as the period between spring commencement and the first day of the fall semester.

This policy is applicable to regular full-time employees and retirees. This benefit is transferable to the employee's spouse, should the employee not use the waiver. The waiver applies only to tuition. All other fees are payable by the employee/spouse.

Employees Invited to Participate in Safe Space Program – Alliance invites all faculty and staff members to take part in the Safe Space program. Safe Space members mark their offices/workplaces as "safe" for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and other alternatively identified students. Alliance will provide laminated signs for participating faculty and staff members.

Alliance will provide a short (approximately one hour) orientation session prior to participation. The session will arm participants with strategies for intervening in anti-LGBT bias and for being a supportive ally when someone comes out to them. Alliance will ask participants to sign a working agreement in which they affirm their support and affirmation of the identity of their GLBT students. Individual and group orientation sessions will begin immediately. To register, please contact Tracy Riley at tracy.riley@enmu.edu
or by phone at 693.7082.

According to a 2003 campus climate survey published by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, fully one-fifth of LGBT students fear for their physical safety. Over half conceal their sexual identity in order to avoid harassment or intimidation. The visible presence of allies to whom students can turn for support can change the school atmosphere for the student who feels marginalized. A supportive and friendly climate enhances academic performance, school experience, and mental and emotional health of the students who experience it.

For more information, please contact Tracy Riley at tracy.riley@enmu.edu or by phone at 693.7082.

Alliance Sets Day of Silence – Alliance at Eastern New Mexico University asks all students and faculty to join in the Day of Silence, Wednesday, April 13, 2005. Gay and lesbian students will take a stand with their straight student, faculty and staff allies against harassment and discrimination.

Over 150 ENMU students have already vowed to remain silent April 13 to protest the discrimination, harassment and abuse in effect, the silencing faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning people and their allies.

On the Day of Silence, rather than speaking, participants hand out "speaking cards" explaining their reasons for remaining silent throughout the day. Alliance will provide red "Day of Silence" t-shirts to the first 200 participants.

At 6 p.m., participants will gather at the patio of the Campus Union Building for a Breaking the Silence Event. Student voices will break loose at the 20-30 minute event in speech, song and dramatic recital. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Sign up for the Day in the CUB lobby on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 12 and 13. We would love to answer any questions you may have. Contact Chris Keim at 714.0478 or Tracy Riley at 693.7082, or e-mail tracy.riley@enmu.edu.

(Note: Participants are requested to speak if participation is required during classes or contact their professor before the Day to discuss alternative ways to participate in class. Instructors who wish to remain silent during the Day are encouraged to develop creative lesson plans or to speak during classes as usual. Please do not skip or cancel classes due to the Day. If you stay home, no one will know you were silent.)

ENMU Telephone System Upgrade – The ENMU telephone system has been upgraded to the latest software revision available. Below are some important differences that the user may immediately notice: When calling from a digital telephone, the display will show the call is ‘deflected’ (rather than “diverted”) if the called number has a diversion profile set up on it. If a call to your extension can be rolled over to more than one phone number on busy/no answer, you will notice the words ‘profile 1’ on the display of a digital telephone, or you will hear a ‘stuttered dial tone’ on an analog telephone. This message tells you that your telephone will be able to divert to more than one point if your number is busy or does not answer. On digital telephones with a two-line display, the ‘profile 1’ message has replaced the date and time. The date and time will reappear when the handset is lifted and stay on the display until the handset is placed back on the cradle. When the new software was installed, all default settings on the telephones were restored. Anything that was programmed into a telephone from the keypad will need to be set up again. For example: On a digital telephone, if there is a second access key, the key will need to be pressed to reactivate this function. On a digital telephone, the ring tone will need to be reprogrammed if it was changed from the default ring. To do this, press the ‘program’ key, press any number 0 through 9 and press the ‘program’ key once again when you have chosen the ring you like. On a digital or analog telephone, if there was a ‘follow me’ diversion created, it will need to be reprogrammed. If you have any questions on setting up a function on your telephone, please log a call with the Helpdesk at 4357. We appreciate your patience through this transition.

   CURRY/ROOSEVELT COUNTY CASA
   MARKS NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION AND AWARENESS MONTH BY LIGHTING CANDLES OF HOPE

   CLOVIS, NM—Every year, more than 380 children are abused and neglected in Curry and Roosevelt Counties. To raise awareness of alarming statistics like these, the Curry/Roosevelt County CASA today announced it will host a Light Of Hope Candlelight Ceremony at both the Curry and Roosevelt County Courthouse. Curry/Roosevelt CASA, a non-profit organization that trains community volunteers to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in court, supports national efforts to fight child abuse throughout the month of April, which is National Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month (NCPAM).
   This year’s events will help to kick off the several awareness and educational activities across the country in April to recognize National Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month. Curry/Roosevelt County CASA hopes to encourage community members to come together to shine their light at either event. The Roosevelt County Light of Hope ceremony will be held at noon on Thursday, April 7 at the Roosevelt County Courthouse lawn.

   The Curry County Light of Hope ceremony will be held at noon on Friday, April 8 at the Curry County Courthouse lawn.
   “Nothing touches your heart more than helping a child,” said Catharine Johnson, CASA Program Coordinator. “And helping a child who’s been abused or neglected will affect you in ways you’d never expect.” “Here in our communities, the future lies with our children, and they each deserve the possibility of being brought up in secure, loving permanent homes.”
   Curry/Roosevelt County CASA is a member of the National Court Appointed Special Advocate Association, more than 900 local community programs that recruit and train citizen volunteers to advocate for the rights of abused and neglected and abused children. “Every day, our volunteers work to bring hope into the lives of children who need hope the most. That is why we are lighting candles in parks and courthouses across the county, to remind us all that there is always hope for a child,” said Michael Piraino, CEO, National CASA Association.
   
   For more information on The Light of Hope Ceremonies in Curry and Roosevelt County, and the CASA program, or how you can be a CASA supporter or volunteer, contact Curry/Roosevelt County CASA at 505.769.3227.
