Senate Members 2021-2022
The KU Staff Senate works to create greater involvement of all KU staff and to ensure that the opinions of staff inform the creation and implementation of university policies. The staff senate creates a forum for discussion among all university staff and advocates for staff interests with other governance bodies, the university administration and the Kansas Board of Regents.
Senators are elected by the members of the electorate. Each senator gets one vote. To ensure fair representation of all staff, the electorate is divided into eight categories representing the major divisions of work responsibilities across campus. To determine which category your job title falls under, please consult the following Job Title Tables. Job Families are designated by KU Human Resource Management.
