About USAC
The University Staff Advisory Committee was established in 1986 as an advisory body to the president of The Ohio State University and serves as an advocate for more than 22,000 university staff members.
Since its founding, USAC has helped to improve and expand staff benefits in healthcare, compensation guidelines, dependent tuition, life insurance, personal information security, area retail discounts, parental leave, and much more.
USAC is composed of 30 staff members from classified civil service, administrative and professional, and senior administrative and professional sectors. Committee members are elected at-large and have expertise in areas such as finance, governance, marketing, and human resources. Each year, 10 new members are selected to join USAC as 10 existing members rotate off the committee. Members serve three-year terms.
With 25 years of service to the university, USAC has a large number of alumni who remain active. USAC alumni attend events, serve on university committees on USAC’s behalf, fill short-term vacancies on USAC, and continue to support the organization in many ways.
USAC's Mission
The University Staff Advisory Committee is an advisory body to the university president. Its mission is to maintain an active and participatory line of communication with the university community and to provide a forum through which university staff can raise, discuss, and make recommendations to support the university’s mission.
