Candidate for President: Jenni Sheridan Moss

I would also like to work toward changing our language around advisors, librarians, financial aid officers, ASOs, and other non-faculty members of our union. These folks are degreed professionals, not clerical workers as the administrators, and unfortunately some faculty, see them. They deserve far more respect – and also more pay – than they currently get.

We are at a critical stage right now as we work toward a resolution of our contract that improves all our working conditions and compensation. I believe that my experience as a member of the executive board, two negotiating teams, and as chair of the Council of Representatives, positions me to take on this responsibility.

Keep in mind our university mission statement:

We create and advance knowledge, prepare a diverse student body to thrive, and positively impact local and global communities.

WE are the ones who do these things. It is OUR university. If we keep this in mind, the members of our union can continue to make WSU the excellent university that it is.
