In addition, University Staff also serve on various Faculty and Administrative committees which represent University Staff at 51ÁÔÆæ. These representatives work to represent all staff employees regardless of appointment type (permanent, project or limited term) proportionately by position\/employment distribution category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-p-lg\">University Staff won the right to govern themselves beginning in 2011. They were the University Staff Council (formerly the Classified Staff Advisory Council). The Council became a fully formed Senate in 2019.
