About the Staff Assembly
Staff Assembly was created in February 2001 to enhance the work environment and represent the interests and concerns of staff in the overall governance structure of the University. Staff Assembly is composed of a 12-member Executive Committee and six standing committees. Over 50 staff members are actively involved with Staff Assembly on either the Executive Committee or one of the six standing committees. Staff is the second largest constituent group on campus with over 900 people working in a staff position.
