Classified Senate

To request a Classified representative to serve on a shared governance committee, including search committees, please submit this form: https://forms.office.com/r/zdUAQJqiSP.

The Classified Senate President and VP, along with the SPAA representative, will be working collaboratively to make shared governance and requesting representation as easy as possible. Due to the DL for Classified Contract having both SPAA and Classified in it, we would like to have requests for committee call out get funneled through only 1 process.

      Please submit questions, suggestions, and concerns you have for the Classified Senate with the following form. This form is anonymous. If you would like a response to an inquiry, please include your name and / or email, the Classified Senate will respond to any requests for response within a week of submission.

      Each semster, the Classified Senate hosts a forum with our campus Exectuive Leaders and will have an opportunity to address concerns that we gather from these inquires.                                         https://bit.ly/QSC_ClassifiedSenate
