The SSAC is composed of elected representatives of the University's salaried staff. SSAC representatives are elected by salaried staff from twenty districts that are established mainly by geographical location.
The Council members serve two-year terms and meet monthly with the Vice President for Employee Relations. In addition to offering advice and counsel to the Office of the Vice President on personnel related matters, the Councils provide a forum for employee concerns to be presented and discussed. The Councils further serve to facilitate communication between staff and central administration. Both Councils have representatives on the President's Council. Representatives also serve on other councils as required. The PAC utilizes ad hoc committees to address special concerns. The SSAC accomplishes its work through three standing committees that deal with salaries and benefits, classification and evaluation, and working conditions.
