College Governance

Carleton Staff Council (CSC)

The Carleton Staff Council (CSC) provides a forum where the interests, concerns, needs, and ideas of staff can be shared in order to amplify staff voices in support of the mission of the College. The CSC will promote effective channels of communication, enhance staff engagement and visibility across the College, and strengthen community among staff and between staff and other College constituencies.

The CSC will advocate for staff and strive to advance institutional priorities and goals by:

  • Acting in an advisory capacity to the President and the Cabinet.
  • Increasing the sense of belonging and value of each staff member in relationship to the College.
  • Identifying concerns relating to staff and working to seek solutions through existing governance committees and processes.
  • Gathering and sharing information to research and support staff interests.
  • Integrating staff into the strategic directions of the College while fostering a culture of mutual support, respect, and professionalism.
  • Establishing standing and ad hoc committees as appropriate to the performance of the CSC’s function.
  • Exercising control over the internal operations of the CSC.

The CSC represents all personnel, excluding faculty. Staff personnel are identified as those employees who work full time, part time, or in a temporary capacity. Students employed by the College are not considered staff.

The CSC is not a labor organization and its purpose is not to negotiate grievances, labor disputes, wages, hours of employment, or conditions of work.
