Graphics merged into two departments

from the Daily Bulletin

Last month, Graphics announced that it was closing part of its print operations, and now comes word of the final phase of its reorganization. Bud Walker, director of business operations, to whom Graphics reports, said yesterday that “after a thorough review, it has been decided that the Graphics operation will now report into two existing departments on campus.”

  • The copy centres, courseware, departmental copier administration and remaining production operations will report to Retail Services. The director of retail services, May Yan, also reports to Walker.
  • The “Creative Services” unit, which includes graphic design, photography, video production and web development, will now report to Communications and Public Affairs. The director of CPA is Martin Van Nierop, who is responsible to vice-president (external relations) Meg Beckel.

The announcement said that “For all but five Graphics staff, their jobs and job grades will remain unchanged. Three staff have been offered different roles within this new structure, and two staff have been offered roles outside of CPA and Retail Services.”

The change “effectively ends Graphics as a department,” Walker said. “But for Graphics customers, there will be little to no change in how they do business with Graphics staff and in how they access the services that Graphics offers.” The changes take effect on May 31.

Sean Van Koughnett, who has been director of Graphics since 2005, is “helping to work through some of the issues related to this transition,” Walker said. In addition, he continues in his other jobs, as director of the VeloCity technology incubator and the Media-Mobility project, "and will be involved in the 'student success' initiative as it takes shape."
