  1. Jennifer Herriges \u2013 Academic Staff Committee Chair\n
      \n
    • The ASC is looking forward to working together with the UC to move 51ÁÔÆæ forward.\u00a0 In particular, they are concerned with budgetary issues, and looking for ways to make students feel connected to 51ÁÔÆæ.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The ASC reviewed the priority referral program and are supportive of the program.\u00a0 They have also been briefed on the VSIP.\u00a0 They are concerned over the possibility that the VSIP may further reduce the number of Academic Staff with indefinite appointments.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The ASC has been discussing how AS view service, and possible ways to increase service opportunities for AS.\u00a0 Indefinite status helps encourage AS to pursue service to the university.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The Board of Regents has suspended their academic staff awards.\u00a0 This comes on top of the elimination of the professional development awards by the Provost\u2019s office.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Schwartz reported that there have been some efforts across the UW System to revitalize the effort to unionize faculty.\u00a0 Co-existence of a union with shared governance may be problematic, so it is important to monitor such activities.\u00a0 He reviewed the past activity around creating MORFS, a body that would advocate for 51ÁÔÆæ faculty and staff.\u00a0 Discussion then moved into concerns over a lack of faculty activity in governance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
