Recognizing the staff of the University of Oklahoma, Norman campus, have a sincere interest in and highest regard for the continuing goals, purposes and functions of the University of Oklahoma, it is the mission of the Staff Senate to seek the active representation and involvement of staff in the affairs of the University.
Staff Senate's membership consists of four officers and 26 representatives selected by their respective member groups.
Each staff member appointed through the Norman campus is represented within the governance system by a member group. Individuals classified as non-exempt (hourly) staff are represented by the Hourly Employees Council. Exempt (monthly) staff are represented by the Informational Staff Association, the Organizational Staff Council, or the Administrative Staff Council. In addition to functioning as autonomous organizations, these groups choose a prescribed number of Staff Senate representatives.
Staff Senate may establish standing committees to carry out ongoing functions of the organization. Currently, the standing committees are Awards, Communications, OU Staff Week, Personnel Policies, and Staff Professional Development. Ad hoc committees may be formed as needed for specific purposes. Staff Senate also has an Executive Committee, Committee on Committees and a Nominating Committee.
University Councils, Committees and Boards
University and campus councils, committees and boards serve a variety of functions which contribute to the achievement of institutional goals. These bodies act in an advisory capacity to the University administration. Staff Senate is responsible for nominating staff to 14 councils, committees and boards.
All regular meetings are held at 1:30 p.m. on the third working Wednesday of each month. There is no meeting in August. Meetings will be held in the Scholars Room of the Oklahoma Memorial Union (3rd floor, north end of building) unless otherwise noted. The 2008-2009 schedule is:
