The Ministry of Advanced Education has announced that PSEA will be taking over the administration of the Human Resources Database (HRDB). PSEA is working closely with CEISS and the Ministry to ensure that there is no disruption to the version 5.0 and 6.0 projects during the transition period.

The project status of version 5.0 (2001/2002) is that we are waiting for 4 institutions (Selkirk Capilano, Kwantlen & CNC) to verify their data in order for the new version to be delivered to institutions by the end of November 2003.

The project status for version 6.0 (2002/2003 data) is well ahead of schedule. We are waiting for two institutions (Camosun and IIG) to submit their data. All institutions are asked to verify their data as soon as possible in order for the 6.0 project to be completed and delivered to institutions by February, 2004 to ensure that the latest information is available for current 2002 support staff bargaining and before faculty 2004 bargaining commences.
