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.
