The Committee addresses staff working conditions and staff-employer relations. It develops and recommends staff-only policies to the President and Vice-Chancellor, who may approve them as University Policies or refer them to the Board of Governors. Class “FS” policies are jointly managed with the Faculty Relations Committee.
The Associate Provost, Human Resources and the President of the Staff Association will serve as co-chairs, alternating meeting to meeting.
The Secretary to the Staff Relations Committee is Tim Weber-Kraljevski.
