A brief description of the institution’s formal participatory or shared governance bodies:
The University Senate is the shared governing body of The Ohio State University. Comprised of 141 faculty, students, staff, and administrators, the Senate's primary responsibility is to advise campus leaders on the key educational and academic policy concerns.
Any university staff member with two years of continuous regular employment (with an FTE of 75% or higher) who is not covered by a bargaining agreement nor is a member of a union represented at the university, is eligible for membership in the University Staff Advisory Council. The University Staff Advisory Council has been instrumental in the implementation of new policies and programs including finding ways to increase the attention on work-life issues and obtaining appropriate resources for staff to complete their tasks.
The University Staff Advisory Council’s Fiscal Subcommittee reviews, on a continuing basis, the fiscal policies and resources of the university and advises the president on strategies regarding long-term/short-term allocation of university resources consistent with the mission of the university. Additionally, this committee analyzes resources and budgets from an overall university-wide perspective.
