The University Senate of Michigan Technological University
Proposed Updates for Senate Professional Staff Unit Designations
Proposal 61-21
(Voting Units: All)
Introduced by: Professional Staff Policy Committee
I. Introduction
The Professional Staff Policy Committee has completed an audit of professional staff
units within the University and is proposing modifications to the existing structure
of Senate Professional Staff Unit designations to reflect recent organizational changes.
II. Rationale
Since the last audit of Professional Staff Units (Proposal 8-20), there have been
changes that necessitate an updating of unit designations. These changes include International
Programs and Services now being housed in Student Affairs, and the creation of three
new units, including the Office of Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion, the
Department of Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology, and the Department
of Applied Computing.

highlighted. The Professional Staff Committee asks that these updates be approved
