The University of Manitoba Sustainability Strategy and You! The University of Manitoba is committed to improving sustainability and operating in a way which respects and supports our environment. In an effort to become a leader in this regard and in keeping with the newly adopted Sustainability Policy, we are undertaking to develop a comprehensive Sustainability Strategy and we need your help to ensure this effort is a success. Since June, the University of Manitoba Sustainability Committee has been working on an action plan to develop the comprehensive Sustainability Strategy for the University that will set goals and actions with respect to campus operations, planning and community engagement. The action plan includes soliciting ideas and feedback from the University community. Over the next few months, the Committee will be reaching out to the community for assistance in the development of the strategy. There will be various opportunities for participation such as working groups, focus groups and surveys. We hope you will join us in one of these many opportunities. Your contribution to this process is critical and it will help to formulate a strategy that is relevant and meaningful to you and to the University of Manitoba community. Thank you in advance for your interest and participation in this very exciting endeavour.

Problems with Aurora PINs
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

As indicated previously, all users of Aurora Self Service are required to set up new Security Questions and Answers on your next log in to Aurora. The PIN used prior to the upgrade is the same one as you used prior to the upgrade and if entered correctly will work. Several staff and students have reported problems with their Aurora PIN not working. Based on information from these users it is evident that some of the PINs being entered are more than six digits. What we have learned is that, although prior to the upgrade the PIN limitation was six digits, some users believed they had created PINs with more than six digits. If a user typed in more than six digits prior to the upgrade, the system only used the first six entered. So, a user may have thought they were entering an eight digit PIN, for example, when in fact the Aurora system only stored and used the first six digits. The post-upgrade PIN limit is now a combination of 10 digits and characters. So now if a user types in an eight digit PIN there will be a PIN mismatch as the PIN stored in the system was only six digits. If you thought your PIN was greater than six digits prior to the upgrade last weekend, please be sure to type in only the first six digits. After your first log in you can change the PIN to a combination of 6 to 10 digits and characters. If you choose to create a new PIN, please remember the PIN must include a least one number and if you choose to include letters that these are case sensitive. Please report PIN problems to our student help line 474-9420. Registrar's Office Student Affairs...Creating Opportunities for Student Success

Message from President David T. Barnard: University of Manitoba Rhodes Scholars
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

It is my great pleasure to announce that two University of Manitoba students have been named Rhodes Scholars for 2011. That two of three Prairie region Rhodes Scholars for 2011 are University of Manitoba students speaks volumes about the quality of students we attract to this institution; the high-calibre of faculty who teach and mentor them in research opportunities; and the abundance of support services in place at this university to help nurture and encourage students to be the best they can be. The Rhodes Scholarships do not focus exclusively on academic achievement. Applicants also are assessed on their dedication and commitment to the betterment of their community and the people who live there. These students consistently demonstrate excellence, not only in the classroom and laboratory, but on our campus and in our cities, towns and neighbourhoods. They are outstanding students and tremendous people. The University of Manitoba has produced a total of 95 Rhodes Scholars since the award was created in 1904. That's more than any other university in Western Canada and is, particularly given our relatively small population, something in which we should all take great pride. This year, we are honoured to celebrate two exemplary students. Melissa Bailey is in the process of completing a B.Sc.(Hons.) in genetics and microbiology. She has taken full advantage of the opportunities placed in her path during her studies at the University of Manitoba. She has conducted research in genetics and stem cell biology and has worked at both the National Microbiology Laboratory and at the Max Planck Institute of Microbiology in Germany. Outside of her academic pursuits, Ms. Bailey is an accomplished athlete in aerial dance. Her commitment to her community is evident in her work as a coordinator of the Let's Talk Science program in public schools and her development of dance programs for disadvantaged youth in Winnipeg. Ms. Bailey intends to use her scholarship to pursue her interest in stem cell research through a M.Sc. in Clinical Medicine. Jody Reimer is completing her B.A. (Hons.) in Mathematics and Religion. In addition to her academic excellence, Ms. Reimer is also active in language studies, hiking, cycling and community outreach. She has taught as an assistant at the university, as well as a volunteer in India with the Ten Thousand Villages program. She has studied in Finland as part of her degree program, and has been a dedicated leader in recreational programming. Ms. Reimer intends to use her scholarship to pursue an M.Sc. in Mathematics through research in the application of mathematics to problems in biology. Both of these exceptional students will now have the opportunity to study at the University of Oxford in England for two or three years, beginning in October, 2011. They take with them all they have learned and experienced here at the University of Manitoba. It makes me very proud to know that this institution, and the people who work here, have helped these two women attain this prestigious distinction. I also wish to congratulate Braden O'Neill, a recent graduate of the University of Alberta, who was the third Prairie region recipient of the Rhodes Scholarship for 2011. While I send my congratulations out to our two new Rhodes Scholars, I also wish to take this opportunity to offer my heart-felt thanks to the dedicated members of the President's Advisory Committee on Rhodes Scholarships who work diligently to identify prospective applicants, help mentor them through the application process and assist in preparing the applicants for the rigorous interview process. Indeed, my thanks go out to the entire university community. Each of you, in your way, help to support and nurture these leaders of tomorrow. Thank you for your commitment to this process. Congratulations again to our most recent Rhodes Scholars. Their accomplishments make me very proud to be a member of this university. David T. Barnard President and Vice-Chancellor University of Manitoba

Aurora Student is back online - new security features in effect
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

To all UM students Following a successful system upgrade, Aurora Student Self Service is now available. As part of the upgraded system, you will see enhanced security features. These include enhanced PIN functionality that allows a PIN to be 6 to 10 digits plus characters. Your PIN must contain numbers and may contain letters. Note: your current PIN will continue to work - you are not required to set a new PIN. The other change you will see is that you are now required to set two Security Questions. You must choose questions from the list provided and may not create your own question. You will be required to select your new Security Questions and set your answers on your next log in to Aurora. To verify your identity or if you forget your PIN you may be required to answer one or both of these questions, either online or when talking to the Registrar's Office. * The answer to your security question must be a minimum of 2 characters. * Answers are not case sensitive. * It is recommended that you do not use punctuation in your answers. * Keep the answers simple and memorable. * Avoid using answers that friends and parents can guess.

Message from President David Barnard
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

This message is delivered by President David Barnard, University of Manitoba to alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends of the University of Manitoba community. I am taking this opportunity to speak directly about a matter involving a University of Manitoba doctoral student that is garnering a great deal of public attention. I know many of you have been following developments regarding this case in the media and likely have many questions. I first want to state my unequivocal support for the student involved in this matter. It is my understanding that this student is an exceptional student who has achieved outstanding success and is fully deserving of the PhD conferred by the University of Manitoba. Unfortunately, a lot of misinformation about this case has been widely broadcast, most notably in the mass media, and it has all too easily and readily been accepted by some as fact. This rush to rash conclusions and finger-pointing can do serious harm to the reputation of all those involved in the case. It is incumbent upon all of us to wait for the case to work its way through the process before drawing conclusions; to presume innocence, not guilt; to understand that there are at least two sides to a story, and that if we have heard only one, we have nowhere near enough information to condemn our colleagues or fellow alumni. Having received permission from the student involved in this matter to release limited information, the Dean of Graduate Studies and the Dean of Science have prepared a statement. I encourage you also to read their message found at <http://www.umanitoba.ca> www.umanitoba.ca. I also want to take this opportunity to emphasize that the University of Manitoba encourages informed debate on issues related to academic policy, such as those in the case before us. Where it is possible for the university to improve its policies, and where it is possible for the university to improve its transparency with respect to these policies, so that decisions and actions can be clearly accounted for, we will do so. To this end, the administration and Senate have already commenced discussions relating to the accommodation of students with disabilities, including a review of: - how to balance the University's legal obligation to offer reasonable accommodations to students with disabilities while protecting academic standards; - what types of accommodations may be offered, without compromising academic standards; - who should decide on whether accommodations should be offered, and if so, what type; - what types of evidence of disability should the decision maker require; - with whom is the decision-maker expected to consult; - how to ensure timely decisions on accommodation are made, so that a student's academic progress is not compromised; and, - how to protect the privacy of students while assessing a case and implementing accommodations. Discussion of these matters will involve students, faculty, staff and experts in these fields and will take place through the university Senate, our academic governing body, in the spirit of our institutional commitment to continuous improvement. The University of Manitoba will learn from this experience, and it is our intention to do so as a responsible, responsive academic community. I will provide you with an update when it is possible to do so. However, for now, I plan not to comment further and allow the legal processes to unfold. Your comments and perspectives are welcome. I have created the following email address and invite you to comment: <mailto:umfeedback@umanitoba.ca> umfeedback(a)umanitoba.ca. Thank you for your continued commitment to and support of the University of Manitoba. David T.

University of Manitoba Email Issues
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

The University of Manitoba is still trying to resolve the problems caused by the repeated Phishing scams. The scams have resulted in the University’s campus network being blocked by several Internet Email Service Providers over the past week. We have been able to resume service with most providers; the most notable exception to this would be Windows Live Hotmail. Any email sent to a hotmail account continues to be rejected from their email server. Several attempts have been made at all levels to have this block removed. At this time Microsoft has not facilitated our requests. University of Manitoba correspondence between staff, faculty and students has been directly impacted as a result. At this time, IST is recommending that all official correspondence must be between University of Manitoba computer accounts. Please note, never give out your password. IST will never ask you for your password. Protect, your computer account information as you would any other confidential information. IST has more information available on Phishing here:http://umanitoba.ca/computing/ist/security/phishing.html Help & Solutions Centre Information Services & Technology Phone: (204) 474 8600 123 Fletcher Argue University of Manitoba

by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

IST continues the efforts to recover the health of our hardware and restore our systems and services. IST had planned to keep the Angel Learning System available but unfortunately this was not possible. Since 6pm IST has been preparing for hardware replacement. At 7:15pm the replacement hardware arrived at the University. We are now under way at implementing the replacement hardware that should hopefully restore our systems and services. Any system or service not operational at this time can’t be recovered until the replacement hardware has been implemented and tested. If the new hardware is successful all systems including the Angel Learning System will be brought back into service and the systems should be fully operational by 6 am on Oct 12th. We do not expect at this time to have suffered any loss of data throughout this process. -- Robert Dvorski Information Technologist Help& Solutions Centre, Client Services Information Services& Technology University of Manitoba robert_dvorski(a)umanitoba.ca 204-474-9865

by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

To: All Staff, Faculty and Students From: Deborah McCallum, Vice-President (Administration) Date: 18 August 2010 Re: Labour Relations Update - AESES-UMSS (Security Services) As of Wednesday, August 18, 2010, the University of Manitoba and AESES-UMSS (Security Services) have not been successful in reaching a collective agreement. In the event that the University's final offer is not accepted by the members as of Friday, August 20, 2010, an impasse will have been reached and either strike action or a lockout would occur. This would apply only to Security Services Patrol Officers and Supervisors and would not apply to the AESES main bargaining unit. Should a strike or lockout occur: (i) the University will continue to operate in the normal course. Scheduled classes will continue to be held and support services will be maintained; (ii) the University will ensure that security is maintained through the services of one or more security firms. Contact Linda Lavallee, Director Security Services at 474-8709, with any particular concerns that may need to be addressed. All staff, students and the general public have the right to cross picket lines. Staff not included in the AESES-UMSS (Security Services) bargaining unit are expected to work as usual during any strike/lockout of AESES-UMSS (Security Services) members. Additional information will be posted on the University's website as it becomes available. Deborah J.
