New Staff Council Leaders
At our May Meeting, Staff Council elected a new President and Vice President for the 2013-2014 year. Meet Brad and Ashley:
Brad Krick-
Hello! I've worked for UAF at the Rasmuson Library Interlibrary Loan office since 2006. In 2011, I was elected to Staff Council, where I chaired the Rural Affairs committee and served on the Ad Hoc Calendar Committee and the Staff Alliance Compensation Working Group.
As Staff Council President, I want to see us improve our efforts to communicate concerns and feedback between staff and the administration. Challenges facing UAF in fiscal year 2014 and beyond will require informed and engaged staff working together with the administration, other governance groups, and the community.
Ashley Munro-
Hi! I have been working for UAF for 9 years. I started at the Interior-Aleutians Campus and now work in the Financial Aid Office. I have been a part of Staff Council since 2006 and have served on the Rural Affairs Committee, Advocacy Committee, Ad Hoc Communications Committee and the Staff Appreciation Day Committee.
While serving as Staff Council Vice President, I want to focus on communication. I think its very important that representatives and staff understand one another. Only with clear and constant communication and Staff Council begin to make a difference for and empower UAF staff.

Explanation of 'Utilizing Staff Benefit Rate Reductions' as a FY14 Budget Management Action
The following explanation refers to the phrase 'Utilizing Staff Benefit Rate Reductions’ that was listed as a ‘budget management action’ in Chancellor Rogers’ ‘FY14 Budget Status’ email from April 29, 2013:
- 'Staff benefit rate reductions' apply to units and departments. They do not apply to individual staff and will not directly affect benefits received by staff. This will not result in any expenses being transferred to staff, nor will it result in a reduction in any staff benefits, such as health care.
- Staff benefit rate reductions apply to the benefit rates paid by a unit or department, which are charged as a percentage of an employee’s salary. The benefit rate for FY14 will be lower than the benefit rate applied in FY13. This will result in unit savings, which will likely be needed to cover pay increases. FY14 rates are set and published at http://www.alaska.edu/cost-analysis/downloads/Reports/FY14_FB_Prop.pdf.
Staff Council would like to thank Bob Shefchik, Executive Officer with the Chancellor's Office and Pat Pitney, Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services, for their assistance with this explanation.
