Academic Staff Executive Committee (ASEC)

The primary function of ASEC is to act as the day-to-day administrative executive committee for the Academic Staff Assembly and for the academic staff at large. To be effective, ASEC considers it important to maintain a close relationship with the Assembly and with all academic staff. ASEC, together with the Academic Staff Assembly, works to facilitate communication with other governance groups and with the chancellor, provost and other campus administrators on matters concerning governance and academic staff.

ASEC considers matters referred to it by the Assembly and its standing committees, the UW-Madison administration, UW System administration, the Board of Regents, the University Committee, the Faculty Senate, various campus offices (Budget Planning and Analysis, Human Resources/Academic Personnel, Equity and Diversity Resource Center, etc.), and individual members of the academic staff. When timing permits, matters of significance are taken up by the Assembly. However, when decisions must be made within time frames that do not allow for Assembly input, they are made by ASEC and reported to the Assembly at its next meeting.

Meetings

ASEC typically meets from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m. on most Thursdays during the academic year and two or three times a month in the summer. Meetings are open to the public.
