Mission Statement

The Senate will remain open to all staff comments and recommendations. The Senate will not serve as a substitute for the formal grievance procedures of the University.

The Staff Senate will represent all classified and non-student wage employees by supporting the diverse, multi-campus staff of George Mason University, without regard to race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, veteran status, disability, or sexual orientation at all three campuses (Fairfax, Prince William and Arlington).

The Staff Senate will promote honest and open communication between the Administration and staff.

The Staff Senate will function, in an advisory capacity, in the governance of the University, by encouraging actions that address the current and future needs of the entire University community.
