STAFF COUNCIL provides a vehicle for communication of interests, concerns, and issues that affect staff, as well as presenting recommendations to University leadership. The issues submission process is how staff members can officially raise concerns for the STAFF COUNCIL to address. The STAFF COUNCIL is an 'advisory committee' just like the Student Association and Faculty Senate. We are free to suggest any changes, but ultimately we have to convince the appropriate University administrative offices to actually make our suggestions into policy. For this reason, we try to research all of the issues exhaustively before making any recommendations. Although this process can be time consuming, it is how the STAFF COUNCIL maintains its high level of credibility and makes it possible for us to effect changes that affect staff.
