Reports
• Classified Senate Report (Yvonne Wu Craig)
Yvonne went to Classified Senate for input from the classified
professional staff for priorities and needs. There is a need for
classified and professional staff training and the time/release from
managers to attend trainings. There is also a need for an
established process for classified staff to have voice/request
classified positions and resource needs while making that process
transparent to classified staff. There was discussion on the need to
add classified staff to the distribution list for the @One training
sessions. Yvonne will email Rachel Ugale and have her contact Jan
Novak about including classified professional staff in relevant @One
training announcements.
