Goals and Objectives of Staff Council
The UCSF Staff Council seeks to enhance communication among its membership and to advise the chancellor and campus administrators on matters of mutual concern. To this end, the Staff Council at UCSF has several objectives:
• We periodically survey our members to learn of staff concerns, problems, and topics of general interest and report back results of those surveys to our membership and campus leaders, as appropriate.
• We meet twice per year with the chancellor and campus administrators, including the executive vice chancellor and provost, senior vice chancellor of finance and administration, and director of human resources, to exchange views on issues of concern to the membership.
• We maintain relationships with staff employee advisory groups on the other UC campuses through participation in the Council of University of California Staff Assemblies (CUCSA).
• We communicate information of relevance to the membership through an email listserv and the Staff Council at UCSF website. (To subscribe to the listserv, email listserv@listserv.ucsf.edu and write in the body, “subscribe staffcouncil firstname lastname.”)
• We sponsor seminars, debates, lectures, and other campus events meant to illuminate issues of general interest to the membership and support other UCSF groups having similar goals and events.
• We investigate and recommend solutions to problems affecting the membership, subject to the authority governing the UCSF Staff Council’s status as advisory to the chancellor.
• We attempt to have a representative cross-section of leadership from the various schools and support services across all campus sites that reflects UCSF’s rich ethnic, cultural, and sexual diversity.
