The Staff Council Elections Committee invites you to consider running for a position on Staff Council.
This is the 40th year of Staff Council at the UI. Staff Council is an elected body that represents approximately 5,000 non-bargaining professional and scientific and merit supervisory exempt/confidential staff members. These dedicated people have a substantial impact on the teaching, research, and service goals and outcomes of The University of Iowa. As a university-wide representative body, Staff Council members promote communication among staff, central administration, Faculty Senate and Student Government.
Staff Council members do not make policies, but do advance staff concerns
and ideas to central administration as well as 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 – representing both Administrative
and Academic
* Professional Health Care – representing both Health Care & Nursing
Professional Research – Non-unionized
* Professional Research
* Special Services (Merit Supervisory Exempt/Confidential)
