The listing is in no particular order. *Recruitment, retention, on-going training, and provide career advancement opportunities. *Ensure adequate staffing and faculty levels to meet UAF mission. *Continued increases in state funding levels for the University to meet operating costs and to allow for growth in programs, students, staff, and faculty. *Continued recruitment and retention of students. *Ensure competitive compensation and benefits/health care package to attract and retain qualified employees. *Governance representation/participation EFFECTIVE: Immediately RATIONALE: Emphasizing student recruitment and retention should be the top priority for all UAF employees. Ensuring adequate staffing and faculty levels enhance a students experience and contribute to student recruitment and retention. Continued state funding allows for the University to enhance existing programs and develop new ones, hire additional staff and faculty, and enhance and maintain buildings. Governance representation and participation is essential for staff to know that they have a voice in what happens at UAF. A competitive compensation package will enable the University to hire the best faculty and staff to ensure that the students receive a quality education. ******************* ATTACHMENT 122/3 UAF STAFF COUNCIL #122 DECEMBER 8, 2000 SUBMITTED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE MOTION ====== The UAF Staff Council moves to established an Ad Hoc Picnic and Raffle Committee to organize the 2001 staff picnic on May 17 and raffle for the Carolyn Sampson Memorial Scholarship.
