Thank you for allowing me to have a few minutes with you. The Senate of Academic Staff is again very active this year supporting the mission of the University.
A few of the issues we have been working on in the senate include:
- Hiring Deans. With realignment of the colleges behind us, we are anxiously looking forward to assisting with the process of hiring the new deans.
- Celebration Planning. Our senate is co-sponsoring a One Year Anniversary of the Polytechnic Designation celebration on March 11 and if any of you are in town we hope you will join us!
- Pay/Compensation. The possibility of a proposal from the Governor which would give a salary increase to some but not all academic staff – our senate is trying to get the politicians and UW System to treat us all equally and fairly
- Bylaws. Changing our bylaws to reflect the new colleges
- University Marshall. Developing guidelines for the Academic Staff Marshall at graduation
Thanks!
Dennis Shaw, Chair
Senate of Academic Staff
