Join the next USAC virtual business meeting. Virtual meetings are open to all OSU staff to join as guests.
We are an advisory body to university leadership. Comprised of members from across the university and medical center, our 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.
As staff are faced with an inflation rate in Ohio ~7%, we would like the University to establish a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for employees in addition to the existing merit pool.
We would like the University to focus on equitable compensation for staff by addressing pay compression, salary discrepancies across units, and differences in salary offers between internal and external candidates.
To address ongoing staff concerns around needing time off for anxiety and depression, we would like to see expansion of the sick leave policy to include time off for pre-planned mental health and wellness.
We would like the University to continue prioritizing employee wellbeing by providing an uninterrupted break and quality time off for families in the form of Winter Recess. This should include an equitable option for essential staff.
