The Staff Senate was established to foster a spirit of unity, pride, and cooperation among staff members by recognizing the leadership role staff play in the daily work of the University.
The Staff Senate supports the University mission, and serves in an advisory capacity to the Chancellor and Human Resources Director on issues and concerns that are important to staff.
The Staff Senate serves to facilitate communication among all employees and University administrators concerning general University employment interests and concerns while encouraging the development of constructive suggestions.

Staff Ombuds
The Office of the Staff Ombuds will offer support to staff members in resolving concerns and navigating university programs and resources. Facilitated by the U-M Ann Arbor ombuds program, the expanded service aligns with the university’s strategic goals to create a more fair, equitable and inclusive workplace. Campus currently has student ombuds and faculty ombuds programs, and this new staff program further expands the confidential service. Appointments will be held via Zoom or phone or, when requested, at the U-M Ann Arbor office. Questions? Visit the website or email StaffOmbuds@umich.edu.
