Staff Council seeks nominations All professional and scientific and special services staff members whose position classification is not covered by a bargaining unit are invited to nominate themselves or other staff members for election to Staff Council. Nomination forms will be sent to eligible staff members in campus mail. The council has a substantial impact on the teaching, research, and service outcomes of The University of Iowa. As a University-wide representative body, Staff Council members promote communication among staff, central administration, Faculty Senate, and Student Government. Staff Council members do not make policies, but do advance staff concerns and ideas to central administration and make specific recommendations for policy changes.
Members attend a monthly two-hour meeting and serve on at least one internal committee.
