Staff Council announces nominations for membership
All P&S and special services staff members who are not covered by a union contract are invited to nominate themselves or other staff members for election to Staff Council.
Nomination forms are posted on the Staff Council web site (www.uiowa.edu/~stafcnsl). The forms must be returned to Staff Council Elections, 606 JB, by Feb. 8.
Staff Council is an elected body that represents approximately 4,000 non-bargaining P&S and merit supervisory exempt/confidential staff members.
The council has a substantial impact on the teaching, research, and service goals and outcomes of the University. As a University-wide representative body, Staff Council promotes communication among staff, central administration, Faculty Senate, and Student Government.
Staff Council members do not make policies, but they do advance staff
concerns and ideas to central administration and make specific recommendations
for policy changes.
Staff Council is composed of one representative for every 100 employees
or major fraction thereof in the following categories:
• Professional Administrative and Academic
• Professional Health Care and Nursing (non-union)
• Professional Research
• Special Services (Merit Supervisory Exempt/Confidential)
Members attend a monthly two-hour meeting and serve on at least one internal committee.
