Report on Faculty/Staff Partnership

The University of California President's Task Force on Faculty/Staff Partnership released it's report. According to the Executive Summary of the report, "the Task Force was formed jointly in January 1999 by the Council of University of California Staff Assemblies and the Academic Council of the systemwide Academic Senate. Its charge was to identify and share campus best practices that foster positive communications and cooperation between faculty and staff; to identify training opportunities for faculty and staff that support relationship building and partnership; and to describe the resources available to both faculty and staff for resolving conflicts. The Task Force report offers ideas for enhanced partnership in consideration of the mutual obligation of both faculty and staff to create a positive work environment."
