Welfare Advisory Committee
The Welfare Advisory Committee advises the Director of Human Resources and Operations, Vice President for Finance and Operations, and President regarding faculty and staff welfare policies (e.g., insurance programs, benefits, general salary scales, retirement programs, tuition remissions, wellness initiative, annual assessment of welfare/campus climate), providing perspectives from across the community. The Office of Institutional Effectiveness will also provide a regular report to the Welfare Advisory Committee. Based on community feedback, the committee may make recommendations to improve campus welfare. It serves as a sounding board for policy updates and changes. The committee cannot serve as an advocate in any official grievance case, but it does hear individual grievance cases that could lead to policy changes. Reports to Faculty Meeting and Staff Meeting as a matter of information, to keep all employees updated.
