Staff Council Corner - November 2001
by Susan Thompson
Staff Council has worked on a variety of projects over the past decade, such as efforts to improve staff salaries, reward staff appropriately, maintain traditional holiday breaks, beautify the campus, and create a comfortable and safe working environment. The common thread throughout all of these projects has been the desire of Staff Council representatives to represent the concerns of SWT staff.
This year, Staff Council will continue our work towards ensuring that all staff are fairly compensated, and we hope to participate in developing an institutional plan to improve staff salaries.
Another priority for Staff Council this year is to improve our own effectiveness. We want to do our best to represent issues of concern to staff, and we will work to find ways to identify the issues that are of concern to staff.
We maintain a web site (http://www.txstate.edu/StaffCouncil) as our main way of communicating with staff, and I encourage you to bookmark and visit that site frequently to obtain the latest information about your Council’s activities. I also encourage you to contact one of your elected representatives or send an e-mail message to staffcouncil@txstate.edu with your ideas about how Staff Council can improve service to you and/or what issues Staff Council should address.
