3 Most Pressing Issues the Staff Advisory Board is addressing

The following are the three most pressing issues that the Staff Advisory Board feels Staff at UCSC presently face. We welcome your feedback and input with regard to these issues or other areas you feel are equally pressing.

We are in the process of developing work groups for each issue. Each work group will seek to better understand the current issues and policies that pertain to the issue. It is our hope to then review these policies, solicit staff input and feedback, and ultimately make policy recommendations to the Chancellor's office and administration on behalf of non-represented staff at UCSC.

If you would like to be a part of a particular work group or want to give input concerning a particular issue, please e-mail us at staffadv@ucsc.edu and describe your interest.
