Staff Council is now taking nominations for the odd units to begin serving January 2005. UAF Staff Council representatives must be permanent full-time or permanent part-time non-faculty, non-student employees. University employees who hold executive appointments are not eligibile. There is one representative for each 50 staff members, so some larger units have more than one representative. There is also an alternate representative for each representative that serves to make sure that each unit is adequately represented.

A link explaining all of this and more can be found at: http://www.uaf.edu/uafgov/staff/elections/index.html

To nominate an individual, you should select the nomination form for your unit, make sure the person you are nominating wants to serve and that their supervisor signs the form. Serving on Staff Council is considered university business and adequate time to represent your unit is supported by Regents policy. If, after looking at the departments and groups on the webpage linked above, you are unsure what unit you are in, please contact the Governance Office at fystaff@uaf.edu or 474-7056.
