What is the Staff Senate?
The Staff Senate is an advisory body to the President of the University. The President may refer matters to the Senate and expect a response from that body. The Staff Senate is established as the official means by which staff may be actively involved in and contribute to the governance of the institution. It shall investigate, consider, and act upon any matter its members think appropriate or relevant to concerns and interests of support staff. It shall report fully to the staff, and to other elements of the University when appropriate, on all deliberations and actions of the Staff Senate.
