 Continued discussion on SAC coming up with some statements around Community Norms. “This is what is important to Staff”.  Should we have the Dean come to our meeting to speak with us as to his expectations of the committee?  Colin will pull from what the CAC is working on and present at the next meeting, Kris’ suggest we start working on a document.

Adjourned at 11:49 a.m.

Here is the wording we discussed at our meeting today.  I’m open to suggestions about the best way to work on this (e.g. google docs, or Microsoft equivalent?).

  • The purpose of this survey is to provide CANR staff with the opportunity to submit anonymous feedback to the Staff Advisory Committee (SAC) at any time.  Your input will be discussed by the SAC at the next monthly meeting and forwarded to the Dean's office, Extension administration, or others as the committee deems appropriate.
  • This is where CANR Staff may submit ideas, suggestions, feedback, and innovative thoughts surrounding all that we do at MSU! Ideas may also be discussed directly with a SAC member.
  • The SAC cannot respond directly to anonymous feedback because we cannot identify the sender.
  • If you would like a member of the SAC to follow up with you, please include your name and contact information.
  • This survey is subject to all MSU policies, as well as Local, State, and Federal law.  SAC members, like all MSU staff, are mandatory reporters.  Any suspicion or suggestion of relationship violence, stalking, or sexual misconduct will be reported University Police and the Office of Institutional Equity.
  • Any criminal activity
