COEHDTechTip
Increase computer startup speed
brought to you by Technology Support Services<http://education.utsa.edu/faculty/technology_support_services/>
Did you know you can reduce the number of programs running at startup? If your PC is taking too long to boot, it's probably because you have far too many programs running at startup. It's easy to reduce these and it will make your PC launch noticeably faster. Make sure you research what you are turning off, as some processes might be needed by third party programs you have installed.
• Windows: Open the task manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and head to the startup tab to configure what programs you want to launch with your system.
• Windows 7 and prior: Open run (Windows key + R) and enter msconfig to access a window with a similar startup section.
• MAC OS: Go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > Select your user and click on the Login Items tab. You can remove or hide startup applications from here.

Re: FW: Invitation As External Assessor For Universiti Putra Malaysia (Associate Professor Dr. Zulhamri Abdullah )
by William Land
Hi all,
I have lived and worked abroad, and most all of that information is standard for sending international wires. I don’t think it’s common/possible to send money internationally via checks (I could be wrong here). I have received payment from universities abroad, and I’ve had to provide this same info. The only thing I don’t remember providing was my passport number, but everything else was required.
Best,
Billy

In cases like this, you have to trust your instincts. I personally would also not provide all of the information that was requested and it would be a red flag for me about possible identity theft. Even if the requester was not the problem, how would this information be safeguarded from other misuse or hacking? Do they really need my Passport #, Address, Bank routing? The address is necessary if they are sending a check, but if so, not the bank number.
However, if this is a standard practice internationally, those of us who work with international institutions could initiate a conversation about how to do compensation and reimbursement in ways that safeguard payees and do not raise red flags. Also, it would seem important to raise the reimbursement issue early on, which was not done in this case; it happened after the fact.
Thanks for the good discussion.

Same thing happens in Finland- regarding wire transfers versus sending a check and providing back info. I’d say you want to have some sort of knowledge of the institution.
Also, i will say, they havnt offered to pay for tenure evaluations, but do for evaluations of programs in the form of hourly rates.

Getting a check back seems reasonable. But sending all of the requested info (including passport #) is an invitation for identity theft, in my view.

Colleagues,
Please be aware of the following scam that was reported to us by a COEHD professor emeritus. It may be the first such item to surface at UTSA but they wanted to alert UTSA so that we could get the word out to prevent anyone from being victimized. Details are:
1. A professor emeritus was contacted via her UTSA email address and asked to conduct a review/evaluation of a candidate for Associate Professor from a university abroad.
2. Having conducted many such reviews, the UTSA professor emeritus agreed and sent a review of the candidate and her/his materials.
3. She subsequently received a thank you from the institution and a comment that they would provide compensation for the review.
4. Compensation is never a part of faculty assessments and review for promotion and tenure, so the professor emeritus was taken aback.
5. She became further alarmed when the institution asked for all of her banking information, namely:
Bank :
IBAN :
ROUTING NO :
Bank Account no. :
Bank Account Beneficiary :
SWIFT Code :
Sort Code :
Bank Address :
Passport No :
Residential Address :
This convinced her that the request for her to evaluate a faculty member was a ruse to get her financial information and she did not provide it. However, she wanted to make sure others are alerted to this so that they act extremely cautiously with such requests and do not fall for a ruse. Please share the information with others to avoid having someone at UTSA become a victim of a financial scam.
Ii am providing the faculty member’s full email thread below for information, but you should be able to notify others by forwarding only my brief email.
Regards,
Maricela

Getting a check back seems reasonable. But sending all of the requested info (including passport #) is an invitation for identity theft, in my view.

Colleagues,
Please be aware of the following scam that was reported to us by a COEHD professor emeritus. It may be the first such item to surface at UTSA but they wanted to alert UTSA so that we could get the word out to prevent anyone from being victimized. Details are:
1. A professor emeritus was contacted via her UTSA email address and asked to conduct a review/evaluation of a candidate for Associate Professor from a university abroad.
2. Having conducted many such reviews, the UTSA professor emeritus agreed and sent a review of the candidate and her/his materials.
3. She subsequently received a thank you from the institution and a comment that they would provide compensation for the review.
4. Compensation is never a part of faculty assessments and review for promotion and tenure, so the professor emeritus was taken aback.
5. She became further alarmed when the institution asked for all of her banking information, namely:
Bank :
IBAN :
ROUTING NO :
Bank Account no. :
Bank Account Beneficiary :
SWIFT Code :
Sort Code :
Bank Address :
Passport No :
Residential Address :
This convinced her that the request for her to evaluate a faculty member was a ruse to get her financial information and she did not provide it. However, she wanted to make sure others are alerted to this so that they act extremely cautiously with such requests and do not fall for a ruse. Please share the information with others to avoid having someone at UTSA become a victim of a financial scam.
Ii am providing the faculty member’s full email thread below for information, but you should be able to notify others by forwarding only my brief email.

Thanks, Maricela. I suspect this goes beyond faculty P&T reviews to journal manuscript reviews, based on an experience I had last year, in which I declined compensation before any such details of my bank account were requested by the journal.
