Members 2023-2024

Staff Senate is represented by 40 elected Senators. Thirty-three of these positions are divided proportionally amongst the university's functional areas (also known as divisions) based on the number of employees from each area. The remaining seven positions are selected from Administrative & Professional (A&P) staff members from any functional area. If a member changes positions to another functional area, they may resign from Senate or complete their term under the functional area they were elected to represent.
