Fundraising – Red Permit Raffle – Hana Fuller

For our annual fundraiser, Staff Council is raffling five red restricted parking permits. All red permit eligible employees are invited to participate. All proceeds go directly back to staff to fund Staff Council awards and scholarships. 

Ticket prices are one for $5 or three for $10 and can be purchased online only

Tickets are available for purchase April 11-June 12, and the drawing will be held during the June 13 Staff Council meeting. Winners will be notified via email and announced in the June meeting minutes.

Staff Council extends a heartfelt thank you to this year’s sponsors:

  • Office of the President
  • Office of the Provost
  • Enrollment Management
  • College of Education - Dean's Office
  • IT Assistance Center (ITAC)

Staff council members are eligible to purchase raffle tickets. It is a randomized drawing, so staff council members are able to win.

Staff Council Awards

Staff Council Awards nominations closed April 28.

We had more nominations than in the past and are still working through the review process. We expect to announce awards in June.

Remote Work Taskforce

Taskforce recommendations were sent to President’s Cabinet, and almost all were approved. 

Main item not approved was extending the short-term agreement limit to 60 days. 

They plan to have a work group for policies about remote work for students and NSNR's

No reimbursement of travel costs for when remote employees need to travel to campus. Only employees who have a different designated headquarters (ex., regional admissions counselors) are eligible for travel reimbursement.

Network connectivity standards - not discussed at this point. 

Tax issues from employees working in other states - FSS will form a work group.

Defining remote work position eligibility - leave it up to the supervisors. 

Results will be shared out with campus at some point.

Cabinet members are being more flexible with regards to long-term remote agreements. If you are going to be needing more than 30 days, speak with your supervisor.

The culture is shifting. Some areas are a little slower than others. Keep requesting. Keep advocating for yourselves.

Staff Council Elections 

Nominations are now open until Friday, May 12th

Nominees will be contacted and asked to submit a short bio for the website.

Elections will be held in June.
