Staff Advocacy Council
The Staff Advocacy Council (SAC) is an extension of the 51²è¹Ý Staff Association and consists of representatives from 51²è¹Ý’s schools and divisions. The purpose of the Staff Advocacy Council is to facilitate dialogue regarding areas of common staff interests and concern, to provide insight on University initiatives to administrators, and to submit recommendations on behalf of the staff community.
51²è¹Ý staff members are encouraged to share ideas with University Administration through the Council. If you have a suggestion, let us know! 51²è¹Ý staff members may contact their representatives directly or use the SAC online submission form below to share ideas and suggestions.
Let us hear from you!

Please Note:
Individual personnel matters must be addressed through 51²è¹Ý’s Department of Human Resources.
