Statement of Purpose

The HR Advisory Committee is committed to improving the quality of work life and serves as a formal voice for University staff. The statement of purpose is to be carried out in cooperation with the Director of Human Resources, with whom the Committee will work in an advisory capacity.

Responsibilities
