Research Faculty Special Committee

In 2024, the Staff Council bylaws were amended to include Research Faculty as part of Staff Council. The Research Faculty Committee is a special committee that was created in 2025 for the following purpose:  

  • Enhance outreach and education efforts about Staff Council with Research Faculty, particularly through translating Staff Council and standing committee efforts for Research Faculty constituents.
  • Provide understanding and perspective on CU Boulder policies, procedures, and funding of Research Faculty for Staff Council members.
  • Promote and advocate for equitable and proportional representation of Research Faculty as elected or appointed representatives on Staff Council. 
  • Support the implementation and evaluate the effectiveness of the Research Faculty special committee.
