All nonacademic staff are eligible.
The university encourages staff to serve on university committees whenever possible. Release time from work is dependent upon the approval of the staff member's immediate supervisor and the ability of the department to function satisfactorily in the staff member's temporary absence. However, the university recognizes that certain activities can only take place during regular working hours. Employee members of official committees who desire time off from work to serve on official committees should notify their immediate supervisor of the meeting. The supervisor will grant time off unless the staffing needs of the department require the staff member's presence at that particular time.
