Code of the University of Kansas University Support Staff Senate
This document has been replaced by the University of Kansas Staff Senate Code. In the Spring of 2014 the University Support Staff Senate and the Unclassified Senate convened a task force to explore the possibility of a merger of the two senates into a single Staff Senate. Interest in such a merger arose from staff reclassifications that converted a large number of USS staff into Unclassified Professional Staff, as well as the University’s intention to convert additional positions from USS to Unclassified through attrition.
Both the Unclassified and University Support Staff employees voted in January and approved the dissolution of both the University Support Staff Senate and the Unclassified Senate at the end of April 2015. The new Staff Senate, composed of members from both of the current senates, would become the representative body for all staff on campus starting in May of 2015.
