The creation of awards and 76 lectureships at the department, college or campus level must be approved by the Vice 77 Chancellor for Academic Affairs. The creation of chairs and professorships must be 78 recommended by the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, the Chancellor and the LSU Eunice PS No. 62 Effective: August 14, 2000 Revised: December 3, 2012, May 30, 2013, September 18, 2015, February 8, 2016, April 12, 2017 Page 3 of 8 ________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: Academic Honorifics: Chairs, Professorships, Lectureships, & Awards ________________________________________________________________ 79 President and finally approved by the Board of Supervisors. The University reserves the 80 right to decline any proposal to endow or designate an honorific. Recommendations for 81 creation of honorifics must include: 82 83 A. Sources of Support: 84 1. University sources: allocation of University funds. 85 86 2. Recognized Support Organization: endowment, annual gift or one-time donation. 87 88 B. Classification of Honorific Being Created: chair, professorship, lectureship, or award. 89 90 C. Duration: single event, specific term or indefinite term. 91 92 D. Exact Title and Basis for Naming: 93 For clarity and consistency, a standard format for naming chairs and professorships will be 94 followed. The format comprises three elements, as follows: 95 96 ________(1)_______ ________(2)________ ______(3)______ 97 (Name, usually of (honorific type, with (academic discipline) 98 donor or honoree) appropriate adjectives) 99 100 For example, "Fred C. Frey Chair of Southern Studies" or "Chevron Professorship in 101 Engineering." Use of the adjective "endowed" in the title is discouraged because it 102 unnecessarily lengthens the title. This format notwithstanding, strong donor preferences will 103 be honored. 104 All references to an honorific in the LSU Board of Supervisors’ resolution to establish the 105 honorific, in subsequent personnel actions, in catalog entries and in other publications must 106 be uniform and consistent. 107 For endowments of $1 million or more, or designated support at a similar level, the honorific 108 title usually should be "chair." Exceptions would include honorifics originally termed 109 professorships that have reached the $1 million level through a number of contributions and 110 state matching grants. Such honorifics would remain titled "professorship," or an approved 111 variation, such as "university professor." Endowments of less than $1 million should be titled 112 "professorship," or an approved variation of that term. 113 114 E. Current Value to the Recipient: 115 116 1. Chairs and Professorships: Monetary consideration may take several forms depending 117 on the length of appointment to the honorific and whether there are specific duties 118 associated with holding the chair or professorship. LSU Eunice PS No. 62 Effective: August 14, 2000 Revised: December 3, 2012, May 30, 2013, September 18, 2015, February 8, 2016, April 12, 2017 Page 4 of 8 ________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: Academic Honorifics: Chairs, Professorships, Lectureships, & Awards ________________________________________________________________ 119 120 a. Support in the form of base salary (*Support in the form of base salary is charged to 121 object code 1110) may be paid if the holder is permanently appointed to the chair or 122 professorship, or the salary is permanently increased even if appointment to the chair or 123 professorship is temporary.

Support may be provided in the form of summer salary (*Support in the form of summer 137 salary is charged to object code 1060.) for chair- or professorship-related activity performed 138 during the summer months by holders appointed on academic year (9-month) pay basis. 139 Retirement contributions

  • Reputation Systems for Anonymous Networks
    Reputation Systems for Anonymous Networks Elli Androulaki, Seung Geol Choi, Steven M. Bellovin, and Tal Malkin Department of Computer Science, Columbia University {elli,sgchoi,smb,tal}@cs.columbia.edu Abstract. We present a reputation scheme for a pseudonymous peer-to-peer (P2P) system in an anonymous network. Misbehavior is one of the biggest prob- lems in pseudonymous P2P systems, where there is little incentive for proper behavior. In our scheme, using ecash for reputation points, the reputation of each user is closely related to his real identity rather than to his current pseudonym. Thus, our scheme allows an honest user to switch to a new pseudonym keeping his good reputation, while hindering a malicious user from erasing his trail of evil deeds with a new pseudonym. 1 Introduction Pseudonymous System. Anonymity is a desirable attribute to users (or peers) who par- ticipate in peer-to-peer (P2P) system. A peer, representing himself via a pseudonym, is free from the burden of revealing his real identity when carrying out transactions with others. He can make his transactions unlinkable (i.e., hard to tell whether they come from the same peer) by using a different pseudonym in each transaction. Com- plete anonymity, however, is not desirable for the good of the whole community in the system: an honest peer has no choice but to suffer from repeated misbehaviors (e.g. sending an infected file to others) of a malicious peer, which lead to no consequences in this perfectly pseudonymous world. Reputation System. We present a reputation system as a reasonable solution to the above problem.

    QUICK GUIDE How to search for the existing Award ID (including legacy awards) (Continuations, Supplements, Renewals, and some P&As and Internals) LOG IN: Go to www.umass.edu/research/kuali and log in using your NetID and Password. Then select Common Tasks on the left pane. Next, select Search Awards. On the Award Lookup page, enter as many search fields as needed to hone in on the targeted award (e.g. PI, Award Title, Sponsor, etc). Experiment with this. If a search field has a magnifying glass icon, select it and then search and “return value”. • Use *asterisks* in front and back of the search terms – see Award Title field below. • If searching by title, sometimes including fewer words from the title are better – try searching using a distinct two or three words only. Sometimes a title will change from one award action to another by just one word. Office of Research & Engagement [email protected] • After searching, run a report by selecting spreadsheet (seen below this chart on the left). Suggestions: Save as an Excel Workbook when multiple award records appear in order to hone in on the correct version. Delete columns as needed and add a filter to help with the sort and search process. Office of Research & Engagement [email protected] Identify the correct award Always select the so-called “Parent” award – the suffix is always “-00001” Note: To confirm linkage with the correct legacy award record: • In Kuali, select Medusa in the “-00001” record. • In the list that appears, select any award record except for the “-00001” Parent (the legacy data does not reside in the “Parent” record).

    PROGRAM GUIDE SECRETARY’S AWARDS PROGRAM December 2017 SECRETARY’S AWARD S PROGRAM GUIDE Introduction | U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Washington, D.C. 20585 The Department of Energy (DOE) has a long-standing tradition of recognizing employees who go above and beyond the call of duty in their work endeavors. The Department believes that it is important to recognize employees and contractors who have provided exceptional service to the American people and citizens of the world. Since 2007, the Secretary of Energy has acknowledged significant individual and group accomplishments through the Secretary’s Awards Program. The Secretary’s Awards Program is designed to recognize the career service and contributions of DOE employees to the mission of the Department and to the benefit of our Nation. The Program is comprised of three award types. The Secretary’s Honor Awards represent the highest internal non-monetary recognition that our employees and contractors can receive. The Secretary’s Departure Awards recognizes notable career dedication and outstanding service to the Department and the American public. The Secretary’s Appreciation Awards are given to individuals and groups for superlative contributions to the Agency mission. Each year, the Secretary recognizes a number of employees for their career service and accomplishments through the Secretary’s Departure and Appreciation Awards, respectively. Additionally, once per year, the Secretary hosts a special ceremony to present the Honor Awards to those within our workforce who have risen to the challenge and achieved significant results during the previous year.

  • A Descriptive Analysis Fo the Presidential Faculty Fellows Program
    1. Introduction The National Science Foundation uses a variety of mechanisms to support faculty and academic researchers. One form of support— fellowships— provides financial assistance directly to individuals. The intent is to provide recipients with considerable latitude in planning the focus of their academic and research activities. Since 1983, NSF has sponsored or participated in five such fellowship programs for accomplished young tenure-track faculty. What is the PFF Program? The Presidential Faculty Fellows (PFF) program was established in 1992 at the request of President George Bush to recognize and support the scholarly endeavors of young tenure-track faculty.3 Administered by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the program provided grant recipients with $100,000 per year for up to 5 years. Fellows could use PFF funding to (1) undertake self- designed, innovative research and teaching projects; (2) establish research and teaching programs; and (3) pursue other academic- related activities. By funding these activities, the Foundation sought to • recognize, honor, and promote the integration of high- quality teaching and research in science and engineering fields; • foster innovative and far-reaching developments in science and technology; • create the next generation of academic leaders; and • improve public understanding of the work of scientists and engineers. Fellows were selected by the White House (following NSF's review process) on the basis of their contributions and accomplishments in the following three areas:4 3 PFF defined "tenure-track" positions as (1) any assistant professorship or higher at institutions that offer tenure, or (2) research and teaching positions at the assistant professor or higher level at institutions that do not offer tenure.
