Staff Council

Formed in 2005, the Staff Council serves as an advisory body for the University administration and plays a key role in campus decision-making.  Members, both exempt and non-exempt staff, are elected by their peers from all areas of campus to rotating three-year terms. The Council annually conducts elections to fill staff vacancies on University committees.
