System Office Staff Council November Meeting Highlights

November 23, 2022

Guests

  • Mary Gower gave a presentation on Institutional Compliance. It was great to have someone so familiar with this topic educate us on the many, many areas we must maintain compliance in, as well as who is responsible for maintaining this compliance.
  • Bryan Hoppough joined us to give us an update on HR projects and process changes.

Meeting Discussion

  • We’re collecting comments on the  EAIP (Educational Attainment Incentive Program). Please submit any comments you may have with our staff comment form.
  • Great public comments! Thank you so much for submitting your comments. Please continue to do so. The more voices we hear, the more diversity we can include in our conversations about improving the environment for our staff!

  • There were 269 attendees in the Zoom and 231 on the livestream for our Systemwide Town Hall on November 8th! Future improvements may include some way to determine which topics belong with the president, and which should be addressed with each University’s chancellor.
