Online voting now open for proposed unified senate
LAWRENCE — In spring 2014, the University Support Staff Senate and the Unclassified Senate convened a task force to explore the possibility of a merger of the two senates into a single Staff Senate. Interest in such a merger arose from staff reclassifications that converted a large number of USS staff into Unclassified Professional Staff, as well as the University’s intention to convert additional positions from USS to Unclassified through attrition.
The Draft Senate Staff Code and Transition plan is located online. There is a link to the ballot at the end of the Draft Senate Code.
Voting opened Jan. 12 and will remain open until Jan. 16 at 4 p.m. Results will be announced Jan. 20.
