About Staff Council
Who are we? The Staff Council is a 21-member group comprised of administrative, professional,
and technical employees of the University of Alaska Anchorage and its community campuses.
The Staff Council was formed after the APT and Classified Council merged in the Spring
of 2015. The Council is a UAA campus component of the Board of Regents' mandated statewide
governance provision.
What is our purpose? The purpose of the Staff Council is to provide a forum through which common concerns
and opinions regarding University matters may be voiced. The Staff Council offers
representative participation towards the solution of problems, formulation and/or
revision of policies affecting these employees, their salaries and benefits, working
conditions, general services, and services performed, to the extent that these matters
are not covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Staff Council will act as
a resource, support, and advocate for administrative, professional, and technical
employees. The Staff Council serves as an advisory body to the Chancellor in matters
concerning administrative, professional, and technical employees.
