Adelphi University is pleased to announce the creation of a Staff Council.

The purpose of the Council is to provide a voice for nonunion staff on issues related to them while supporting the vision, mission and goals of Adelphi University.

The new Staff Council will:

  • Collaborate with Executive Leadership and the University’s Human Resources Working Group to support a positive working environment for all Adelphi employees.
  • Provide input into the University’s decision-making processes that directly affect staff.
  • Serve as a vehicle for the continued professional and personal development of staff.
  • Create networking opportunities for staff across the University.

The Staff Council will be comprised of full-time and part-time exempt and nonexempt nonunion staff from Adelphi’s schools, colleges and departments. Elected members will:

  • Attend all meetings and participate in the business of the Council.
  • Be available to their constituents to hear concerns and ideas, and communicate these effectively to the Council.
  • Keep their constituents informed of relevant Council work and matters that University administration communicates to the Council that may be relevant to their constituents.
  • Be allowed up to three hours per month to participate in the Council.
  • Have terms that last for two years.

Call for Nominations

  • A call for nominations for the Staff Council is open now until Friday, July 30.
  • Only nonunion staff may submit a nomination—for yourself or a fellow nonunion staff member (including full-time, part-time, exempt and nonexempt employees).
  • To submit a nomination, please complete this form. It will be sent electronically to humanres@adelphi.edu.
  • The Office of Human Resources will vet all submissions to ensure nominees meet eligibility criteria, including a rating of “A Job Well Done” or higher on their most recent performance appraisal.
