There are a variety of resources available at UNMC to help faculty members.
The Office of Academic Affairs offers a wide range of services for both faculty and students. They can help you with items like room scheduling, interprofessional teaching, or even information on the proper care and protection of animal and human subjects during research.
The Office of Academic Services manages recruitment and academic appointments; processes new appointments, leaves of absence, adjustments in salaries, retirements, and more; and manages requests for supplemental compensation agreements and submission of most Board of Regents agenda items.
UNMC has policies and procedures in place that address discrimination and harassment. As such, UNMC is committed to creating and maintaining a welcoming and inclusive campus community. Every individual is valued and should feel welcomed and included as a member of this community. More information.
