Staff Council Advocacy

Catastrophic Leave

Staff Council and other shared governance bodies have been working on ways to assist UI staff and faculty who face catastrophic illness. Do you know a co-worker or a friend of a co-worker who has been diagnosed with a significant health issue? How long will they be out of work? How do they support themselves and their family? For most people, these illnesses are devastating, both emotionally and financially. The University of Iowa has a catastrophic leave policy that helps many employees in these circumstances, but not all employees qualify for this type of leave. Read more about Catastrophic Leave...

Homecoming 2019

Staff Council always tries to participate in UI activities, especially to bring awareness of the contributions of UI staff to this great institution. Homecoming is a special time for current and former staff councilors as we get to show our fun side. This year was no exception as the musically talented of our group played several tunes, while others handed out Staff Council goodies. It’s a great time to bond with each other and to represent YOU!

The Council supports the University mission. In pursuing that mission, the Council seeks to advance such endeavors through visibly active staff participation/involvement both campus-wide and community-wide in a spirit of unity and open communication with other shared governance organizations on campus.
