Agnes Scott has a strong governance and collaborative self-organizing culture between faculty and staff. For example, in FY24, Staff Council and Faculty coordinated on an insurance plan benefit analysis. A selected committee of faculty, staff and a Vice President were tasked with examining health insurance benefit options with three main goals collectively identified by faculty and staff. The results were shared at the faculty/staff Community Forum in January 2024.
Along with the college’s strong culture of governance and collaborative self-organization, Agnes Scott’s non-harassment policy, Staff Grievance Procedure, and Whistleblower Policy are published in the P&C Employee Handbook, which is accessible to all employees.
