Staff Council: the voice of staff at UNM
The Staff Council provides a forum for non-faculty staff to address issues of staff concern and to make those issues known to the University. The staff is a full partner with other University employees and students in providing input into the decision making process (governance) of the University.
Staff Council has been serving UNM staff since 1990 when it was formed by a Board of Regents mandate. The council is made up of elected officials representing both job grades and precincts (organization codes/campus location). Staff Councilors are elected for two- year terms, and Staff Council governance is made up of a president, president-elect, speaker, treasurer, and four at-large members (two grade representatives and two precinct representatives) that make up the Staff Council Executive Committee.
