CSAC Serves on Campus Committees!
Members of CSAC served on the University Community Council which held a
series of campus meetings and identified critical issues for staff. Its one
thing to identify an issue: it’s another, to fix it. Most notable
achievement of the Chancellor in concert with this group is that the salary
of every employee on campus is now either at the base of or within the
salary range that is appropriate for the work which they do.
Members of CSAC serve now as conveners in the Strategic Planning Process
that is taking place during this Academic School year. Dr. Ponder has a
national reputation as one of the finest Strategic Planners in higher
education today. This is an honor that is well deserved. What I note about
Dr. Ponder’s process is that at the end of it what we have is a list of
ideas. Period. One idea doesn’t have an “f” beside it, indicating that it
was presented by faculty, or a “s” beside it for staff or an “a” for
administration. No. we just have ideas. On this level playing field,
anybodies idea can become central to the Strategic Plan that will be used to
guide this university for several years to come.
Members of CSAC serve on the Distinguished Staff Member of the Year
Committee. Every year a staff member is selected who has served this campus
in ways that are above the norm – you’ve got to be spectacular to do that at
UNC Asheville because the normal function of staff is within the realm of
excellence. This person, the very cream of the crop, receives an award and a
monetary boost in appreciation for the spectacular service that he or she
has rendered. This year, the committee’s goal is to ensure that the
recipient of this award, the Distinguished Staff Member of the Year, is
honored in ways that parallel the distinctions afforded the faculty member
who receives the parallel Faculty of the Year Award.
Members of CSAC serve on the Chancellor’s Office Support Study Team. This is
a team that is currently seeking to update the job descriptions of the
administrative support teams that are so vital to the Academic function of
the university.
