Staff Council gathering opinions before next regents meeting

In advance of next month's Board of Regents meeting, the University of Colorado Staff Council has launched an online survey to gather opinions from staff members across all campuses and system administration.

The survey, posted at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YKBHNYT, addresses three topics scheduled for discussion at the board's June 24 meeting:

• Proposed changes to the university's Guiding Principles, most notably a recent draft that emphasizes political, intellectual and philosophical diversity among faculty.
• Revision of the presidential search process, which includes a proposal for how many members from each of several constituencies would be given spots on the search committee.
• An addition to Regent Law Article 10 (anti-discrimination) that would specify gender identity and gender expression as protected characteristics.

Surveys must be completed by 8 a.m. Tuesday, June 1 (the day after Memorial Day).

Questions: Lori Krug, Staff Council chair, lori.krug@cusys.edu or 303-735-5737.
