Staff Senate
Staff Senate represents the staff of Tarleton State University in all matters of general interest including those raised by Senate Representatives, Senate Committees, the President of the University, and through petition by any full-time and part-time staff employee. Staff Senate is the principal means of communication between staff and University Administration. Staff Senate is empowered to act for and on behalf of the staff and will express the opinion of staff on all matters laid before the Senate.
Monthly Meetings
All general Staff Senate Meetings are open to any and all full-time and part-time staff. They are held the fourth Thursday of each month at 10AM. We encourage everyone to attend in-person (typically in the Dick Smith Library Multipurpose Room) or on Zoom as your schedule permits. Meetings consist of a vote to approve the previous meeting’s minutes, kudos and updates, reports from committee chairs, and other discussion items.
After general discussion, presentations are made by individuals or departments from across the university. Topics cover a wide range, from professional development to university projects and strategy.
If you are interested in presenting to Staff Senate, contact us. Also, we welcome requests for presentations from outside groups or individuals as well.
*Please note: Staff Senate Executive Committee Meetings are not open to all staff.
Your Voice Matters!
Staff Senate collaborates with Tarleton’s executive leadership to foster and open dialogue about staff concerns, questions, and opportunities. All submissions should be professional, succinct, and center on potential improvements that impact staff at-large. Please be sure your submissions address questions/issues that are relevant to all staff, rather than personal concerns. Our executive leaders are committed to maintaining an open dialogue with professionalism and respect.
