We publicize additional ways of connecting with the Rutgers community in our weekly alumni e-newsletter, Think Scarlet. If you are experiencing a career setback, I hope you will consult our many alumni career development resources. We all know that in addition to causing tragic loss of life, the COVID-19 outbreak has wrought extraordinary damage on many people’s livelihoods. We post periodic updates about the university’s status here:. Our staff continue the functions that undergird our teaching, research, and public service. Our researchers continue their work-including timely efforts to help develop a rapid COVID-19 test-and our health care professionals continue to provide urgently needed care. Our students continue to learn, albeit remotely. The global pandemic has fundamentally changed the way we do our work at Rutgers. If you are experiencing illness, I wish you a speedy recovery. To those who have lost friends and loved ones in recent weeks, please accept my condolences. Lately, these words carry extra weight and some sadness. “We expect that President Barchi will complete his unfinished business, including finally settling the contract and equalizing policies for the hundreds of unionized medical school faculty on the Biomedical and Health Sciences campuses who have been working without a contract for over a year now,” Wolfson added.I hope this finds you well. “We hope the board of governors will prioritize faculty, student and staff engagement in the search for a new president who is committed to our values. “We look forward to welcoming a new president who shares our commitment to a diverse, equitable Rutgers that serves the people of New Jersey,” Todd Wolfson, president of Rutgers AAUP-AFT and an associate professor of journalism media studies said. “President Barchi is an exemplary leader who has worked tirelessly to improve the student experience and to make Rutgers an ever-better place to learn, teach and do research,” board of trustees Chairman James Dougherty said. “We are delighted with his leadership and we are grateful that he will lead Rutgers for an eighth and final year.” “Under Bob Barchi’s leadership, Rutgers’ national rankings have risen, research at Rutgers has expanded overall and in critical areas, our student academic profile has enjoyed dramatic improvement, and the physical face of Rutgers has been forever changed,” Rutgers board of governors Chairman Mark Angelson said. More than $2.5 billion in construction provided new facilities for chemistry, nursing, engineering, life sciences and student life, the board of governors said, and more than $1 billion in fundraising in the last five years alone set records. According to the board of governors, Barchi began his tenure at Rutgers leading one of the largest integrations in American higher education to form Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences and later oversaw the partnership with RWJBarnabas Health to create New Jersey’s largest and most comprehensive academic health system.Īccording to the board of governors, since Barchi joined Rutgers in 2012, honors colleges in New Brunswick and Newark have been built to attract New Jersey’s best students, and endowed professorships increased from 41 to 89 to attract world-renowned faculty. Barchi holds the title of university professor and will return to the faculty in that capacity during the 2020-2021 academic year.
