Council Notes: Updates from Staff Council
Welcome to Council Notes! Every month, we'll update this page with the latest information from Staff Council meetings, including links to our minutes and agendas, and info on upcoming events.
December 2024
At the November meeting, Staff Council heard a brief report from our Faculty Senate liaison and then discussed the successful Faculty and Staff Appreciation Night at McLane Stadium. The Council then discussed the quality of faculty/staff wellbeing efforts at the university in response to a request made by a representative from Staff Senate at Texas Tech University. Staff Ombudsperson Suzan Anz then came to report and receive feedback on the first eight months of having this role at the university. Staff are reaching out to Susan, and she has been effective in hearing expressed concerns, directing people to university support resources, and ensuring confidentiality within federal and state reporting constraints. She assured the Council of the demonstrated importance of the role for Baylor and that it would continue moving forward. Staff members in need are encouraged to contact Susan at Staff_Ombuds@baylor.edu or (254) 710-8470. Lastly, Council members were tasked with encouraging people in their areas of the university to complete the Chartwells survey and a Child Care Task Force survey that is being conducted by the Baylor Women's Colloquium.
