Comment or issue submitted:
The current SUN award allows recipients who receives Sun Award know who the sender is. While in most cases, I don't have problem disclosing it, I have heard from faculty/staff that they wish there is an option to allow the sender to be anonymous. Can we add this option for those who would like to use them?
Resolution:
Thank you for your suggestion regarding the option for anonymous submissions for the SUN Award. We understand that some faculty and staff may prefer anonymity when sending recognition.
However, the current SUN Award system is designed as an employee-based platform, and allowing anonymous submissions would compromise its integrity. The anonymity feature could potentially open the system to misuse, as it would make it possible for anyone to send a SUN Award without accountability.
The intent of the SUN Award is to maintain a transparent and positive environment where recipients are aware of who is recognizing their contributions. We appreciate your understanding and will continue to consider ways to improve the system while maintaining its core values.

I am trying to figure out why every department has a different standard for working from home. The "rule" is 60% in office and 40% at home, however, instead of 2 days WFH and 3 in office- some departments do 2 days in office some do1 in office. Can we have a baseline here?
Resolution:
Thank you for your question. In accordance with SPP 306: Flexible Work Arrangements https://public.powerdms.com/ASU/documents/1560365 ASU defines Flexible Work Arrangements (FWA) - hybrid option as when an employee spends a minimum of 60% of their regular workweek at their primary ASU work location. Alternative arrangements, including full remote work, are exceptions. Flexible Work Arrangements are not a requirement, but rather a benefit that is offered to employees at the discretion of the Dean, VP, or Leadership. Vice presidents or deans may establish standard and/or alternative work schedules, and hybrid and full remote work arrangements, that best meet the service and work needs of their respective areas. Guidelines regarding FWA can be found here: https://cfo.asu.edu/telecommuting-guidelines

I recently received a promotion and was told that I could only receive an 8% salary increase. This 8% increase doesn’t come close to the person I am replacing salary despite comparable experience, certifications, and education.
Is the maximum 8% increase a legitimate ASU policy?

Why is there no longer a Vice Provost for the Downtown Phoenix and Poly campuses to oversee the collaborations and administration of those campuses to ensure units are collaborating? This position used to ensure that all leadership was aware of campus-wide efforts and maximizing opportunities to enhance the campuses events and outreach. With the lack of this position, it appears that the units on the campuses are operating in siloes now.
