Staff Council: A Voice for Emory Employees

Guiding Purpose

The Staff Council is authorized by the President of the University as an organization through which Emory staff can participate responsibly and meaningfully in the governance of the University community. While the Staff Council is not a decision‐making body regarding Emory University Policies, it shall provide information, ideas, and recommendations as appropriate to those in decision-making positions. It shall seek to represent collective staff members’ perspectives to the administration and shall support those perspectives for the
betterment of the Emory University community.

Ways We Serve Staff

1. Communicate with staff at all organizational levels regarding the various policies, practices, and programs of the university
2. Seek to foster closer working relationships between the organizational areas and staff at Emory by endorsing and promoting community‐building programs and activities
3. Deliberate on policies and programs proposed by the Division of Human Resources, by Council representatives, or by members of the faculty and staff, and, when appropriate, make recommendations to the appropriate authorities of the university
4. Act in support of the principles of equal opportunity/accessibility/diversity/inclusion fully committed to a diverse workforce
