Purpose of Academic Staff Council

Academic Staff Council is formed and supported by Wisconsin State statue (36.09(4)) which directs this group to:

  • Advise the Chancellor on policies, procedures, and personnel matters concerning all academic staff. 
  • Organize in a manner determined by the group itself.
  • Select representatives to participate in institutional governance (including at UWL and a System/Universities of Wisconsin level).

In practice, this means that academic staff are formally able to advocate for numerous changes that they want to see from day-to-day practices on campus to System-directed policies and procedures. If you would like to be a voice for yourself and other academic staff at UW-La Crosse, please consider participating in this group.

There are many ways to participate in Academic Staff Council. See some suggestions here:

  • Attend the monthly meeting.

Have a Question? Let ASC Ask for You!

Did you know that Academic Staff Council (ASC) officers attend Universities of Wisconsin meetings regularly? Did you know that they also meet with UWL leadership throughout the year?

If you are employed as academic staff at UWL and have any questions that you would like your ASC representatives to ask on your behalf to Universities of Wisconsin and/or UWL institutional leadership, please ask here: Questions Form. All responses are anonymous. 

Reponses to questions will be addressed at ASC monthly meetings (as applicable).
