University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire. Academic Staff Committee.

The academic staff employees at University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire include a broad range of professionals - counselors, academic advisors, student services staff, information technology staff, and researchers. Academic staff who worked at the Wisconsin State Universities prior to the University of Wisconsin System merger could either be on tenure track or tenured as unranked faculty. Academic staff hired after the merger wre not only provided none of the governance rights or job security of the faculty, but also not represented by the union that protected the classified staff. Throught the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, the Academic Staff Committee at UW Eau Claire worked to improve the status of academic staff. Ultimately, the committee was absorbed into the University Senate.
