Welcome to the Academic Professionals & Administrators Senate (P&A Senate) Web site! We're excited to have you visit and learn more about the P&A Senate and the resources that we provide.
On July 1, 2011, the P&A Senate became the official University governance body for academic professionals and administrative (P&A) employees at the University. Our representatives and alternates are elected to their positions by the unit in which they work. These individuals are the P&A voice at the University when it comes to reviewing or revising policies, benefits, compensation, recognition, and rewards. As a governance body, it is the P&A Senate's role to make recommendations to the administration on important policy issues and to advocate for benefits and compensation for P&A employees.
The Academic Professionals & Administrators Consultative Committee (PACC) will soon begin developing a work plan for the 2011-12 year that will focus on the transition from the Council of Academic Professionals & Administrators (CAPA) to the Academic Professionals & Administrators Senate (P&A Senate). Among other items, the 2011-12 P&A Senate will focus on establishing and fostering relationships with the University administration and other governance bodies.
The P&A Senate welcomes any P&A employee who would like to serve on our committees or help us achieve our goals. You don't have to be elected to volunteer! Volunteers are always welcome!
