Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) has been awarded a $749,700 grant from the National Park Service’s Historic Preservation Fund, specifically designated for historically Black colleges and universities.

Central Washington University Mandates International Health and Emergency Insurance for Employees Traveling Abroad

Central Washington University Mandates International Health and Emergency Insurance for Employees Traveling Abroad

Central Washington University (CWU) has implemented a policy (CWUP 2-10-150) mandating that all employees traveling internationally on university business must purchase supplemental international health and emergency services insurance. The Office of International Studies and Programs (OISP) is responsible for managing the enrollment and billing for this insurance. CWU has secured a group plan through Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI). Employees are required to budget approximately $2.07 per day of travel for this coverage when completing a Travel Authorization. The cost of the insurance is typically covered by the sponsoring unit, with OISP handling the billing via journaling. While this policy covers international health and emergency services, it explicitly states that it is not trip cancellation insurance. Travelers are advised that they may wish to purchase separate trip cancellation insurance for financial losses related to canceled programs, flights, or lost baggage.

Eastern Illinois University Announces Administrative Reorganization, Police Department Oversight Shifts

Eastern Illinois University (EIU) has announced an administrative reorganization, which includes the university police department now falling under the oversight of Business Affairs. This change was revealed during the president's fall update.
